Markdown is a lightweight markup language which uses plain text to describe formatting information, such as # Heading, 1. numbered list, **bold**, etc. This add-on identifies markdown documents by the extension in the URL (.md, .markdown, etc.). When you navigate to a markdown document, if the content is plain text, this add-on formats it into HTML (with headings, bold text, etc.) as described in the document and displays it directly in your browser.

Features
- Renders markdown files on the web and local files (
file://
URLs).
⚠ On Linux, due to Firefox limitations, the add-on will only work if Firefox considers markdown files as text. Fixes are easy and available on the addon’s page and on this SuperUser question. - Respects website security, including
Content-Security-Policy
headers. When such a header forbids modifying the file (for example “raw” markdown files on github) then this add-on does not render the page, or indeed inject any code or do anything at all with that page. - Pick your CSS rendering style, from default or github-lookalike.
- Pick your code coloring rendering style.
- Add your own custom CSS (in the addon preferences).
- Reloading a page maintains your scroll location − ideal for editing a page and seeing what changed.
- Supports header anchors (i.e. links).
- Optional (and disableable) markdown features, such as checkboxes, emojis, footnotes, and more.
