TiddlyWiki and Internet Explorer

I am an avid user of TiddlyWiki - if you have never seen it before you should check it out - it is a great way for me to store all of my information in a way that is easy to find and carry with me everywhere.

I had a need to use it in Internet Explorer (ugg) because the machine I was on did not have FireFox.  Rather than install FireFox on this machine, I found this page, which solved my problem:
TiddlyWiki - XP Service Pack 2 problems

All I had to do was right click on my tiddlywiki html file, click "Properties", and click the "Unblock" button.

Back in business!

Firefox Authentication with Microsoft

I use a lot of Microsoft sites at work - IE will automatically log you in to the sites using NTLM, but Firefox will not (by default).  After some searching, I found Patrick Cauldwell's Blog - Firefox and Sharepoint.

Basically, open up the config in Firefox by entering about:config in the address bar.  Look for network.automatic-ntlm-auth.trusted-uris, and set the value to a comma-separated list of domains.  Patrick also mentions to do the same thing to the network.negotiate-auth.trusted-uris key as well, but he's not sure if it's neccessary.
