[edit] Enhanced Privileges
Enhanced privileges settings can be reset by modifying the capability.principal.codebase.p0.denied setting (e.g. via about:config).
[edit] Local File Links
When a document is served over HTTP (e.g. when using Server-Side Implementations), links to local files are blocked for security purposes.
The LocalLink extension can be used to enable local file links.
[edit] Firefox 3
Firefox 3 generally employs a stricter security model than previous versions, which has several implications for TiddlyWiki.
[edit] File Access
Firefox 3 restricts access to local files to the current working directory (the location of the respective TiddlyWiki document) or sub-directories thereof.
This affects importing from a local file as well as creating backups.
A workaround is provided by CoreTweaks #604 and ticket #683 (cf. discussion).
Alternatively, this security feature can be disabled - however, this is not recommended.
[edit] Cookies
FF3 does not save cookie settings for local files, which means options do not persist across browser sessions.
However, this can be worked around by
- using a localhost URL (e.g.
file://localhost/home/user/TiddlyWiki.htmlinstead offile:///home/user/TiddlyWiki.html) - that way a cookie exception can be added for localhost - using the CookieSaverPlugin
- hard-coding settings
[edit] Enhanced Privileges
Some users have reported that enhanced privileges settings are not saved across sessions. This can be worked around by using the FirefoxPrivilegesPlugin (also available as bookmarklet), by specifying per-file permissions, or by globally setting security.fileuri.strict_origin_policy.
[edit] Permalinks
Firefox 3 automatically decodes characters in the location bar (e.g. [, ] and actual space characters instead of %5B, %5D and %20, respectively).
This can lead to confusion when exchanging permalinks.
