How to make TiddlySnip work in Firefox?

Question

Since Google stopped supporting laptops, I decided to look for alternatives, and so I gave TiddlyWiki + TiddlySnip a shot. However, when I try to install TiddlySnip2.1, I get this error:

"TiddlySnip" will not be installed because it does not provide secure updates

I followed the procedure on the site that will add tiddlysnip.com to the list of allowed sites - Add a list, but it still won’t work.

And to add insult to injury, expansion support was also stopped.

My final solution is to use an older version (1.21 beta) that I could find, but I find it a little unstable.

Has anyone been successful with this?

Thanks.

Eureka! Google saved me! Their google group has a message on how to translate it into Firefox 3.5.x: http://groups.google.com/group/tiddlysnip/browse_thread/thread/e5edef97dec18a17/ce49452f6397083a?lnk=gst&q=does+not+provide+ secure + updates # ce49452f6397083a

Right Stumproot, however, I just feel the need to look for alternatives.

OT, I went to the irc tiddlywiki channel to find out, and there seems to be no other way in this matter than using the older version.

I think the TW community is still planning on continuing to develop TiddlySnip, but so far it has been paused, so TW users will just need to make a beta.
