- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 13884192, 5 years agoI had to follow the instructions on the home page to set up the markdown mime type on linux, and with that it works marvelously.

- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 14258353, 6 years agoI 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}} - Rated 5 out of 5by marsender, 6 years agoWorks 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 6 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! - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 14085932, 6 years ago
- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 14030336, 6 years agoExactly 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 6 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. - Rated 5 out of 5by conorj, 6 years agoWorks fine for file opened locally - raw markdown is displayed initially and upon clicking icon it is rendered correctly.
- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 12813342, 6 years agoIf 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 6 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. - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 13899646, 6 years agoNote 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).
