I read the one star review. There are no instructions because none are needed. Associate ".md" files with Firefox in Windows. Click on an ".md" or ".markdown" file from Windows file Explorer, and it is rendered in Firefox! What else could a person want? I tried FF extension "Markdown Viewer Webext" and I was disappointed that it was a real pain in the ass to look at local files. I don't need a security warning or a special way to open local file. Thanks!

Is Markdown file reader Safe?

Risk impact

Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

Markdown file reader requires a few sensitive permissions. Exercise caution before installing.

Risk likelihood

Risk likelihood measures the probability that a Firefox add-on may turn malicious.

Our algorithms are not perfect, and are subject to change as we discover new ways to detect malicious extensions. We recommend that you always exercise caution when installing a Firefox add-on.
