Disabled after Firefox restart

[ChristianNext]

Starting a few days ago, file-backups does not work any longer when I restart Firefox. While the "Enable backups" is still ticked on, Firefox offers to save the TiddlyWiki, instead of making a backup.

Workaround: When I disable and enable the AddOn, then all is fine - until the next browser restart.

FF58.0, WIn10, file-backups 0.3.4

That's strange. ...

test 1

• Can you have a look at the download dropdown. ...
• What does it show after a save. ?

test 2

• restart the browser
• open a file TW
• Open the dev console with F12
• Select the Console tab.
• Reload a TW with F5. ...

Does the console say something?

test 1 - wants to save as "beakon.tmp.html" test 2 - no console msg upon reload

But console msg upon (failed) save is:

test 1 - wants to save as "beakon.tmp.html"

the beakon is needed, to see, where the browser download setting leads to. I did request better feedback from browser API from mozilla. .... But that takes a lot of time, if it es even considered. ....

test 2 - no console msg upon reload

ok

TiddlyWiki 2.6.4

Did TWclassic 2.6.4 work with file-backups for you? ... I only tested 2.8.1

[pmario]

For TW5. Which plugins do you use?

[ChristianNext]

Solved: My FF profile had an issue. All works now on versions TW 5.1.15 and even 2.6.4, after https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/refresh-firefox-reset-add-ons-and-settings

Thanks Supermario for your help!
