Disable Slack Wysiwyg

UPDATE (2019-12-18): The script this extension is based on no longer works (you should use the no markup setting instead). Slack used to have the ability to use markdown in their text. This extension fixes that.
Disable Slack Wysiwyg is a Firefox add-on that disables the WYSIWYG text input widget implemented by Slack, allowing users to use markdown in their text for a better user experience.

Thank you! This extension makes slack usable again. Looks like I need to use the browser version for a while.

Works amazing! Just install it and it works in the background. First I tried to find a button to "click", not needed. It just works (:
