    Does 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.

    Have 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.

    Does not work in ubuntu 22. Extension reports that it can't read (or change) data from local files

    Rating 1 star because of permissions, this plugin should not require access to all data on all websites.

    It does not require any permissions by default. It's a bug in the way Mozilla detects the optional permissions inside the extension's manifest file. Those permissions are optional and they still require a user consent, meaning I cannot enable them in the background to access your data on all sites without you knowing about it. Plus the extension only looks for markdown files, the source code is not GitHub ..

    I did not success to configure the plugin (firefox Quantum), even when declaring the exact markdown complete URL as allowed. Firefox is still proposing for downloading the file, instead of displaying it.

    Either the configuration is too complicated to perform (or too complicated for me) or the module does not work.

    Currently access to file:// URLs is not supported!
    For the rest of the configuration you can watch this short screencast (only 3 min - no sound):
