"Internal JavaScript Error Well, this is embarrassing. It is recommended...

..."

I've removed every plugin and browser extension, and I still get this on Firefox.

I can get by without all the bells and whistles, but the constant error msg on TW5 just won't do.

Sorry if this is a dupe topic, but I got tired of searching.

Is there a fix? I'll even switch to another browser if I have to (kinda degrades TW's appeal but, oh well.)

While I have no doubt that you are experiencing the error, there are many people who use TiddlyWiki with Firefox without any such error.

First, please provide some additional information:

* What platform (Windows, Mac, Linux) are you using?

* What version of Firefox are you using?

* What version of TiddlyWiki are you using (shown in the $:/ControlPanel, Info, Basics tab)

Next, some obvious steps that may help isolate the source of the problem:

* Open http://tiddlywiki.com in Firefox. Does it report an error?

* Download a fresh empty copy of TiddlyWiki (click the big blue button in the GettingStarted tiddler)

* Open the downloaded empty.html file locally.  Does it report an error?

* If you get past those two steps without error, then the problem must be caused by something specific about your copy of TiddlyWiki.

To help isolate the problem further, try importing the contents of your existing file into the freshly downloaded empty.html:

* Open the downloaded empty.html file locally and drag your file onto it, so that the green "drop here" bar appears across the top.

* A list of the tiddlers contained in your file should appear.

* Select all the tiddlers listed (click the "select" checkbox in the header of the first column)

* Press the "Import" button.  After importing, does it report an error?

* If no error appears, then save the file using the default "download saver" function.  Do not overwrite the downloaded empty.

* Open the saved file.  Does it report an error?

* If no error appears, then you've successfully bypassed whatever problem was in your previously existing file.

* If an error does appear, then re-open the downloaded empty and repeat the import process...

* ...but this time, only select a few of the tiddlers listed (click a few individual checkboxes in the first column)

* save-and-reload. Does it report an error?

* If no error appears, open the most recently saved file and import a few more tiddlers.

* "lather, rinse, repeat", until the error re-appears.

At this point you will have isolated the problem to the last batch of tiddlers you imported.

You can then try importing those tiddlers one at a time to identify the exact tiddler that triggers the problem.

Let me know how it goes.

Thanks,

That's a lot, but I appreciate it. I just tried switching browsers. So far, so good.

Thanks, again.

While it's good that you've found a work-around, it would be still be helpful if you could at least provide the requested information about platform, browser version and TiddlyWiki version, as well trying the first two tests: can you open http://TiddlyWiki.com without error, and can you download and open an empty.html without error?

Also, while my description of the steps for isolating the problem is somewhat verbose, the actual process isn't nearly as time-consuming as it sounds and, again, it would be very helpful to others who may face the same problem in the future.

Think of it as a way to give a little bit back in return for the benefits of the free software you are using.

TW.com opens without error.
empty opens without error... and now my TW, not the new one, is broken, again.

This is why I don't like screwing with things that are working.

I hear you about "giving back," and that would be a good point, except I'm not using it because it is broken.

That said, it's worth investing at least a little bit of time and effort to see if I can salvage it before moving on to something more reliable. That's not a dig. That's the gamble one takes with complexity and functionality.

It could be my save method. I tried using a weird, local exe. but it's already being finicky. 

Thanks again.

Next diagnostic? In for a penny...
