How to get TiddlySnip extension working with Firefox 3.0
If you happen to use the TiddlySnip Firefox extension for TiddlyWiki - and have updated Firefox to the v3.0 released yesterday - you have probably noticed Firefox v3.0 disables TiddlySnip.
Although the TiddlySnip website lists the extension as compatible with Firefox 3.0, it gets disabled, seemingly because of some security policy. I got the following error message from Firefox:
"TiddlySnip will not be installed because it does not provide secure updates."
I use TiddlySnip rather a lot and luckily, I have been able to dig up a work-around that gets TiddlySnip working again.
On the TiddlySnip Google Group I found a link to a TiddlySnip beta version (beta 1.21).
I downloaded the .xpi file to my laptop and installed it from there by simply opening the file from within Firefox.
Works like a charm!

That beta allows to install tiddlysnip in FF3, however… there is a user/password problem in this beta version that unallows it to work.
And the author seems to had abandon the project :-(
