- Rated 5 out of 5by mslonik, 3 months agoJust after installation in Firefox, Windows 10 Home, I had a problem to find application icon on Firefox taskbar. I've asked for advice sending support e-mail. The feedback was immediate. The application works great even with `mermaid` Markdown extension. Happy to use it. Thank you for your effort!

I have installed it on Firefox and Edge ,it well !
On Firefox, you need to do an extra security step before you can use it(Firefox require).
And before use it, you should uninstall any other markdown extensions.
Finally, thanks agian to the author Simov. - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 13641102, 9 months agoWorks great if you configure it properly on Linux using this guide: https://github.com/simov/markdown-viewer/blob/main/firefox.md. If you using Ubuntu probably you have the snap version. In that case in about:config (following the steps on the previous URL) on Firefox be sure to put the full path of the mime file avoid using ~ character. And after that if the addon is not rendering properly the md files, then go to the advanced options of the addon and give the necessary permissions on file access and site access. The addon is great but this process complicate things. However it is worth it!

posted a year agoHere is how to make it work: https://github.com/simov/markdown-viewer/blob/main/firefox.md - Rated 5 out of 5by Simon, a year agoWorks great after this workaround: https://github.com/Cimbali/markdown-viewer#support-for-local-files-on-linux
- Rated 4 out of 5by Paco, 2 years agoDoes what it says on the tin for the most part, doesn't display tables from Reddit correctly though.
- Rated 4 out of 5by MikZ, 2 years agoMy first impression was that it was useless, because it states file:// URLs aren't supported. The docs on GitHub talk mainly about Chrome and the video has no sound, so I didn't find the workaround that somebody else posted in a comment. Here's the fix: https://superuser.com/questions/696361/how-to-get-the-markdown-viewer-addon-of-firefox-to-work-on-linux/1175837#1175837
The fact that this isn't clear in the instructions seems a pretty scathing oversight.
Anyhow, once I added the MIME type, it started working pretty well. - Rated 4 out of 5by 컨트롤D, 2 years agoIt lacked a bit of detail to set the Markdown title to the tab's title when the file was loaded.
