On Windows (8.1) this extension works impeccably. It is indispensable for markdown viewing around the web and on local files.

That being said, I had issues making it work on Ubuntu (21.10). None of the solutions on the README page seemed to work (although it did previously). Finally (after many hours) I found the culprit: the snap installation of Firefox. After removing this problematic snap installation and reinstalling Firefox via get-apt, it started working again.

If I had this extension on Windows only, then I'd give it 5 stars hands down. However, the lack of a streamline installation on Linux systems brings it down to 4 stars. Nonetheless, it is an excellent extension imperative for markdown files.

Thanks for your feedback @valvaldon. snap was quite new at the time and we weren’t sure why it messed with the extension − but this has quickly been fixed, and the docs have been updated to reflect how to handle mime types correctly on Linux, with or without snap.

    Works as expected, I have some issues with editing the CSS but I ended up not caring as much.

    Thank you. So helpful. Confirming that it works in Firefox 116.0.2 on Manjaro Linux.

    I 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!

    Since security is very annoying, I've unisntalled this application.

    Lightweight, no-fuss, and formatting looks great.

    Very nice add-on to comfortably read anything written in MarkDown.
    Tiny suggestion: option to switch back to the raw view.

    It 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.

    Hi @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 ( ).

    Unfortunately 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

    I 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!

    Hi @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?
