Please, can you add markdown type mime "text/markdown" support (https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7763).

- by NatoBoram, 2 years agoRated 1 out of 5Doesn't work. There's no button, and opening a local file on Linux still tries to download it.

- by Alexander Astafiev, 2 years agoRated 3 out of 5This addon is the only markdown reader. But at now it's not working at all - I use Manjaro 17.1.12 Hakoila, Firefox 62 and I don't even see a button on the panel. I tried creating a new profile, same thing.

- by Firefox user 14277084, 2 years agoRated 4 out of 5Add-on works fine on Linux for local .md files using the mime type mod.
But where do you make the equivalent change for Firefox on OS-X? - by Firefox user 14268393, 2 years agoRated 2 out of 5The markdown viewer is amazing, very neatly done and robust. I even test it on a large .md file with no hiccups.
my only concern is a recent update recently, where a simple Markdown Viewer is requesting my permission to access personal data of all websites. I'm afraid this is a deal breaker for me. Why would a markup reader want to access my personal info of all my websites?
I'll gladly update my review and rating once that suspicious permission is tackled.
thank you - by Firefox user 14258353, 2 years agoRated 5 out of 5I use it to copy the webpage link into LaTeX with the hyperref package. I modify the default markup syntaxis with one appropriate for LaTeX (plus hyperref):
\href{${page.url}}{${page.title}} - by marsender, 3 years agoRated 5 out of 5Works perfectly on linux after adding mime type.
Don't forget to click on the toolbar icon to enable markdown rendering for local and web filesDeveloper response
posted 2 years agoThanks for the feedback. Good news! With 1.4.0, it's no longer necessary to click the browser icon to request permissions! Yay! - by Firefox user 13434693, 3 years agoRated 1 out of 5Not working. Tried to update mime database but firefox just won't render local and online .md files, even the README.md on github.

- by Firefox user 14030336, 3 years agoRated 5 out of 5Exactly as advertised. I open .md or .markdown files in the browser and this "beautifies" them. Many thanks!
One suggestion I have is to have a "dark mode" that inverts the black on white or to have a "Custom CSS" box in the settings that would allow us to adjust this.
If this plugin is available on GitHub (haven't checked yet), I might consider making a pull request to implement the feature ^ mentioned above.
Edit: Fix typoDeveloper response
posted 2 years agoThanks for the feedback! There is a Custom CSS box in settings, and it should do what you want. Try entering " body { background-color: black; color: white } " as the CSS. - by Firefox user 5605776, 3 years agoRated 2 out of 5I cannot make this addon to display a markdown document which is located on my system.
- by conorj, 3 years agoRated 5 out of 5Works fine for file opened locally - raw markdown is displayed initially and upon clicking icon it is rendered correctly.
- by Firefox user 12813342, 3 years agoRated 5 out of 5If firefox does not correctly assume that your files are UTF-8 encoded, a possible solution (besides using a Byte Order Marker in your file, which is annoying for several reasons) is the following:
go to about:config and set the intl.charset.fallback.utf8_for_file variable to true. That worked for me.
This is related to the following bug report:

posted 2 years agoThank you for the feedback and for this tip! I have added it to the README, and the README is linked from the add-on options page. - by Firefox user 13899646, 3 years agoRated 5 out of 5Note that the author notes that the extension only works "if the content is plain text". That means your browser needs to be rendering the file in a tab already, just without rendering the markdown elements. If it's downloading it instead, the suggestion from 7cac17 below, to add a MIME type for markdown files, worked for me (I'm also on Ubuntu).
