flymd not working after Firefox 68.0 update

[BrunoBonacci]

After updating Firefox to version 68.0 I get the compatibility error page

"If you see this page, you are so lucky......."

do you have any suggestion on how to fix this issue?

[BrunoBonacci]

on a quick look this seems to be related to the CORS.

you can work around this issue by setting security.fileuri.strict_origin_policy to false (NOT RECOMMENDED) however a proper fix is required.

Looks like the author hasn't been active on GitHub since 2016.

If anyone knows of an alternative to this package, please let us know.

vmd-mode is an option, as is impatient-mode. Markdown-live-preview isn'tworking great for me rn.

Thanks, I found grip-mode by @seagle0128 and it works very well.

Thanks all. grip-mode doesn't work offline, it requests Github's api, so we are limited to 60 requests an hour, unless you pass it a private token. Ongoing issue: joeyespo/grip#35

I'll try vmd: https://github.com/blak3mill3r/vmd-mode (using the vmd nodejs package).

Impatient-mode works with Emacs' http server, not requiring to install another package: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/36183071/how-can-i-preview-markdown-in-emacs-in-real-time/36189456

I've just installed impatient-showdown Emacs package, and it just works by firing M-x impatient-showdown-mode. No extra installation needed!

[vindarel]

Oh, I'll add that impatient-showdown uses the Showdown JS library with a CDN, so indeed we don't need to install a npm package as I thought at first sight. Thanks.
