When I try to open a markdown file from file:///home/myself/something.md firefox continues to insist on downloading or opening it with another application. The "open in browser as" question does not get added to the dialog in that case.

That is because Firefox does not allow extensions to intercept local file requests: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1341341
