- Rated 4 out of 5by BluGo, a year agoWorks as expected, I have some issues with editing the CSS but I ended up not caring as much.
- Rated 5 out of 5by Peter Lyons Kehl, 2 years agoThank you. So helpful. Confirming that it works in Firefox 116.0.2 on Manjaro Linux.
- Rated 5 out of 5by Chih-Hsuan Yen, 2 years agoI also got the security error, and looks like it is recognized by the author. Going back to the old version fixes it. From https://github.com/Cimbali/markdown-viewer/issues/106#issuecomment-1614403451,
> this is likely due to some errors in the latest release, which I’ve pulled from addons.mozilla.org. If you simply uninstall and reinstall the add-on you’ll revert to version 1.8.1 which is the previous one.
Thanks for the hard work! - Rated 5 out of 5by drukhier, 2 years agoVery nice add-on to comfortably read anything written in MarkDown.
Tiny suggestion: option to switch back to the raw view. - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 17476775, 2 years ago

- Rated 5 out of 5by atoad, 3 years agoIt does everything it should, but my new lines don't get rendered unless I double them.
When I write something like this:
"Hello
World"
It gets rendered as
"Hello World"
When I write
"Hello
World"
it gets rendered as
"Hello
World".
I am using Notepad++ to write the .md file and it uses [CR][LF] (Windows standard I think) as new line indicators.
Edit:
Updated my rating because I was just using it wrong.Developer response
posted 3 years agoHi @atoad that’s correct, as specified by the markdown spec (see https://daringfireball.net/projects/markdown/syntax#p). To do a simple line break you can finish the line with either a single backslash (\), an html line break tag (<br />) or 2 spaces ( ). - Rated 5 out of 5by jgaray, 3 years ago

- Rated 4 out of 5by 白墙壁, 3 years agoWhy was I prompted for save option when I open .md file even after installed this addon??

posted 3 years agoUnfortunately this issue is linked to how Firefox on Linux detects and handles file types. There’s nothing that can be done from within the addon, but our README does provide a few ways to configure Firefox or your system to fix the issue. To allow addons to directly handle file types we are waiting on https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1457500 - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 16502277, 3 years ago

- Rated 3 out of 5by Wicaksono, 4 years agoI really like this addon. It makes me able to view markdown files from my local drives. But it's like 60% works. First md file after firefox startup always rendered, then after i made some changes to the file, then refresh it, it doesn't get rendered. Maybe it's not the addon's fault, maybe it's firefox. I don't know. But either way keep up the good work!

posted 4 years agoHi @Wicaksono, this is weird behaviour. Could you come and describe the issue over on github (https://github.com/KeithLRobertson/markdown-viewer/issues/) with more details on your system etc?
