Great extension.
BTW, Is there a way that i can replace '..' with any other character as the parent path？

Does not register the .md file extension with the browser, so any attempt to open a markdown file leads to the Firefox "open with..." dialog. An alternative would be to add an "Open" button to this extension's panel, and have it properly open markdown files inside the browser pane. Otherwise this extension does not work at all because it is totally incapable of opening any markdown file.
