I have the current version of firefox 17.0.1 and am trying to view svg files. I have tried both within an xml and alone. The error I receive through the xml is XML Parsing Error: prefix not bound to a namespace. When I just attempt to open the svg I get a rectangular box with no graphic. I have svg viewer installed and from what I have researched, I should not need a plug in.

I'm afraid the XML Parsing Error indicates that the file isn't valid. Firefox is quite strict about that. Are you the owner of these files? If so then editing the files as described here should fix it: https://jwatt.org/svg/authoring/#namespace-binding
