5 years ago Hi,
It's a bit counter-intuitive to add an option not to do what the extension is meant for :)
but I understand the problem of firefox downloading feeds (which is annoying!) and it doesn't cost much to do so I added it
if the option is checked, the document should be displayed with the firefox xml viewer so it should be prettified
available from v3.4

5 years ago That's fine. I was hoping to see the source directly, but it probably makes more sense to keep the standard behaviour of CTRL+U for source. I tried setting layout.xml.prettyprint to false, but this actually shows the XML file as HTML instead of the source, which is useless.
Since Firefox's viewer is kinda crap, I searched for a replacement and found Pretty XML (on github). It seems to work fine.
Thank you for implementing my two requests so quickly!
The main reason I open RSS feeds in Firefox is to see their markup for debugging. I've never needed previews in the browser. Unfortunately, Firefox doesn't even interpret an RSS feed as a text file now, it just downloads it.
Your extension is really useful for bringing back the original behaviour, but I would love to have an option to always see the feed's source without having to load the preview and then press CTRL+U. Some feeds are also on one single line, so adding a prettifier would be even better ;)
