the following article my explain why it broke in FireFox in version 44 https://blog.mozilla.org/addons/2015/10/14/breaking-changes-let-const-firefox-nightly-44/
After some light looking into the code there are instances of the let block that are affected. There was also some notes that the jpm builder needs to be updated and add-ons repackaged.
repacking with a new version of jpm fixes the issues ... I don't know what kind of code may need to change in the future though
On mac, it doesn't do anything visible on Firefox 44.0a2 developer edition. No prompt for tiddlyfox access, no crash. Works fine on v42 stable.
I'm running on windows 10 64bit processor, and yes v42 was fine, even v43 developer edition - but it broke in v44. I'm trying to repackage it locally to see if that works for this version of FireFox, but I'm having a hard time getting jpm to run under firefox developer edition 44 vs fire fox 42
I've had success now running TiddlyFox in Firefox developer edition v44 on Windows 10 64 bit. It really was just re-packaging it in a new version of JPM. This doesn't brake it in older versions of Firefox. It would be nice if the developers/maintainers would bump the version and submit a freshly repacked extension to addons.mozilla.org
update: the extension works well on tiddlyWiki files, however it does cause a browser crash when visiting Google sites if the extension is enabled ... not sure why that is yet.
@trevor-ratliff have you tried with more recent ff releases?
The developer edition recently changed to v46.0 and it doesn't seem to have the issue of crashing the browser, but I'm using a repackaged version I made a bit ago. I'll try the offical release today to see what it does.

So far so good with the official TiddlyFox on developer v46. I'll keep you posted if I run into any trouble.
I've also updated my regular FireFox to v44 today to see if the issue still showed up there, but I'm not seeing the problem there yet either, so that's good news!

Issue
I first noticed some strange behavior with FireFox dev edition when it updated to the 44 version. It seemed like sites would crash for no reason, then I had the whole browser go down - and I thought it was something buggy with the new version of the browser. Then I started getting crashes when I first tried opening the browser - nothing would open, it would crash right away. I was able to get FF to open in safe mode and visit all the tabs without issues. So I started looking at plug-ins and extensions. As soon as I disabled the TiddlyFox extension the crashes stopped. I don't know what FF changed in version 44, but it doesn't play nice with TiddlyFox. Once I figured this out I could enable TiddlyFox and not visit any TiddlyWikis and be fine, but as soon as I went to one it would crash the browser.
I hope this isn't a hint of things to come to the main FireFox as I have to use FF version 42 to run a TiddlyWiki using TiddlyFox right now. I thought FireFox Dev 43 worked as well, but I don't remember.
