by Ziah, hace 5 añosOf all the markdown extensions I like the way this one looks the most. I'm bummed that it totally doesn't work.
Just getting file:// URLs to open in firefox is a huge pain. Whenever I open markdown files, Firefox just wants to download them. See here to fix: https://superuser.com/questions/696361/how-to-get-the-markdown-viewer-addon-of-firefox-to-work-on-linux/1175837#1175837
Edit: This isn't the fault of the extension
The way the superuser article fixes the problem involves making all markdown files part of the text/plain mimetype but other apps on KDE (and possibly other 'DEs) use the text/markdown mimetype differently than text/plain. So I went into about:config and changed helpers.private_mime_types_file to a custom file (e.g. ~/.firefox-mime.types) to separate firefox's mimetypes from the rest of my system. I then added "text/plain md markdown" in that file. The problem is due to the way firefox handles files and mimetypes.
Edit: Again, this isn't a problem with the extension but does make it tricky to set up.
With this extension, when I open a markdown page, about half the time I just get a blank white page and half the time I see the file. Whenever I enable markdown or change markdown settings, the page reloads and I almost always get back to the blank white page.
When I open the addon's settings page, there are some pretty bad graphical glitches, everything is squished together and the bottom border just keeps slowly inching farther and farther down my screen.

publicado el hace 5 añosThe file:// URL issue is related to how Firefox handles markdown mime types. So unless Firefox do something about it I can do little, reminder, this is a Browser Extension for Firefox > 57, meaning that I don't have unrestricted access to the user's system.
About the blank page issue, that was caused by interference with other extensions and it was fixed on Chrome, I just have to publish the new version here.
About the settings page, you have to open it from the extension's popup in a separate window. The advanced options page is not optimized for the Firefox builtin extensions view.
EDIT: The 'Blank Page Issue' should be fixed now in v3.8

BTW, Is there a way that i can replace '..' with any other character as the parent path? - Se valoró con 1 de 5by Usuario de Firefox 16303081, hace 10 mesesDoes not register the .md file extension with the browser, so any attempt to open a markdown file leads to the Firefox "open with..." dialog. An alternative would be to add an "Open" button to this extension's panel, and have it properly open markdown files inside the browser pane. Otherwise this extension does not work at all because it is totally incapable of opening any markdown file.

publicado el hace 10 mesesHave a look at this thread: https://github.com/simov/markdown-viewer/issues/213
Also, while I understand your frustration, this review section is for rating the extension itself, where the above mentioned issue is caused by a misconfiguration on your Operating System (or Browser) and it is outside of the control of the extension.
There are other channels where you can share your issue and get support from others experiencing the same. - Se valoró con 5 de 5by Usuario de Firefox 13526417, hace un año

- Se valoró con 5 de 5by mslonik, hace un añoJust 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!

publicado el hace un añoThanks for the feedback.
In Markdown Viewer v5.3 popup options are now available in the main settings page of the extension, so it will be easier to find them and it won't require using the extension popup. - Se valoró con 1 de 5by Carlos A, hace un año

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. - Se valoró con 5 de 5by Usuario de Firefox 13641102, hace 2 añosWorks 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!

publicado el hace 2 añosHere is how to make it work: https://github.com/simov/markdown-viewer/blob/main/firefox.md - Se valoró con 5 de 5by Simon, hace 2 añosWorks great after this workaround: https://github.com/Cimbali/markdown-viewer#support-for-local-files-on-linux
- Se valoró con 4 de 5by Paco, hace 3 añosDoes what it says on the tin for the most part, doesn't display tables from Reddit correctly though.
- Se valoró con 4 de 5by MikZ, hace 3 añosMy 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. - Se valoró con 4 de 5by 컨트롤D, hace 3 añosIt lacked a bit of detail to set the Markdown title to the tab's title when the file was loaded.
