Base info:

os : Fedora25
xdotool: 3.2
grip: 4.5.2

I installed this plugin with vundle, and the config of .vimrc is only 'let vim_markdown_preview_github = 1 '. After I press the ctrl-p, there would be the correct vim-markdown-preview.html generated in the /tmp/, but the browser just has no reaction when it is open.

I have same issue.

OS: Ubuntu 16.04 (x64)
xdotool: 3.20150503.1
grip: 4.4.0
firefox: 61.0.1

Related configuration in .vimrc:

let g:vim_markdown_preview_github=1                                  
let g:vim_markdown_preview_browser='firefox'

Similarly, when I use command firefox /tmp/vim-markdown-preview.html manually, I can view generated html file in Firefox.

ps. More info

It works fine on Manajaro and Firefox with following settings:

let vim_markdown_preview_github=1
let vim_markdown_preview_use_xdg_open=1
let vim_markdown_preview_browser='Mozilla Firefox'
let vim_markdown_preview_hotkey='<C-m>' 
let vim_markdown_preview_toggle=3

let vim_markdown_preview_use_xdg_open=1 solved the issue for me. My configuration:

let vim_markdown_preview_github=1 
let vim_markdown_preview_browser='firefox'
let vim_markdown_preview_use_xdg_open=1

But the file needs to be refreshed manually

I think this plugin doesn't support arch... Thing's I've found so far:

Google chrome won't open: Most likely it's looking for the wrong package on arch. It should look for google-chrome-stable
Vim loses focus: It goes to Firefox every time you save the file.
Firefox open extra tabs: Instead of using always the same tab, it just open a new tab every time.

As it is right now i don't consider it usable. Which is a shame because it is ALMOST usable.

OS: Manjaro-i3
