In FirefFox settings somewhere? Meanwhile: I have investigated the FFx AddOn usage more now and it turns out that I can make the add-on be engaged when loading an url with an md file ending: - First I have to switch off mod-markdown on the server - Next I use the URL to the md file in FireFox - Now FFx shows a dialog on how to do, select open with FireFox - Also set this as the default action Now when it is fed such an URL it first displays the raw text for a little while, then it switches to the rendered view and the address bar now shows a file system URL like: file:///C:/Users/Bosse/AppData/Local/Temp/Bosse2-2.md So FireFox actually saves the received data to a text file in Temp and the Add-On reads the data and then it creates a converted version to show... Impossible to bookmark such md files because when it is all done the URL points to the local file system. -- Bo Berglund Developer in Sweden --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscribe@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx For additional commands, e-mail: users-help@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
