Newer K-Meleon builds and TiddlyWiki

I noticed that in most of the recently posted builds, the "save changes" function in TiddlyWiki no longer works. To see that for yourself, if you're not already a TiddlyWiki user, you'll need to save a local copy of TiddlyWiki and then try the "save changes" link. (It's a Wiki-like personal notebook implemented in HTML, CSS, and Javascript.)

By trial and error, i.e. downloading and installing many of the builds that have been posted to this forum, I determined that the last build in which TiddlyWiki works properly is K-MeleonCCF 0.020 PR8a. (Note: The "save changes" function doesn't seem to work in the stock K-Meleon 0.9 either.) By comparing the files in PR8a and PR9, I found that just replacing the chrome/en-US.jar file is sufficient to make "save changes" work. I've also been able to make it work in Guenter's WW0.9_1.7.8_2 and Fred's K-MeleonWW0.9_1.7.8-modified by replacing chrome/en-US.jar, although that makes the about: page look a little weird.

When TiddlyWiki's "save changes" works, what you'll see is an Internet Security popup saying that a script is requesting enhanced abilities. I think that popup is missing from the chrome/en-US.jar files in the recent builds. Anyway, I'm posting the information here in case anyone can step in and figure out what went wrong.

the last chrome update was by bat - i hope to redo by hand the WeekEnd.
if You have anything more than general leads? send a mail. to my home page.
thx.

chrome en-US can be taken from older chromes=purely a translation file.
(i mixed German & En up - we use the same term/word for both...see national issues)
- the about.xhtml is in that file not neded to alter or shorten en-us.jar much...

thx for comment - and hints. guenter

Thanks for the info. I'll probably just copy the new about.xhtml into the PR8a en-US.jar for now. Later, I'll try to figure out what TiddlyWiki is actually using from that jar file.

You got that en-US.jar is only a translation file?
it can react with fault if anything is missing.

copying in new about.xhtml - depending on Your zip program?
You can try to copy paste inside. its in ... global. & regards.

p. s. You can use chrome from Wechselbalg that is older but has no known faults.

I did a little more experimentation.

What I found is if I add locale/en-US/communicator/security/caps.properties from the PR8a en-US.jar to the WW en-US.jar, then TiddlyWiki works! So security/caps.properties was the only required file that was missing.
