Firefox stopped parsing xml
Hello. I am having trouble with my firefox trying to parse xml as html (i assume from what i see), on pages that it used to parse normally. Problem is not recent (appeared months ago) and i can't say if it was an update or something else that was the cause. I tried finding solution back then, but eventually i just started using different browser for xml documents. Anyway, some details: xml page example: http://www.w3schools.com/xml/note.xml Screenshot with result (i attached it, but just in case https://yadi.sk/i/Bzq38Doci7Mvy ) Ubuntu 14.10 ...:~$ firefox --version
(process:3829): GLib-CRITICAL **: g_slice_set_config: assertion 'sys_page_size == 0' failed (Not the point, never seen that before :O) Mozilla Firefox 39.0

On Windows, I still get the traditional view (screen shot attached).
Some distributions include a number of extensions. As a quick test of whether any of those might be involved, could you test in Firefox's Safe Mode? That's a standard diagnostic tool to deactivate extensions and some advanced features of Firefox. More info: Diagnose Firefox issues using Troubleshoot Mode.
You can restart Firefox in Safe Mode using either:
- "3-bar" menu button > "?" button > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
- Help menu > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
and OK the restart.
A small dialog should appear. Click "Start in Safe Mode" (not Refresh).
Any change?

Maybe check on the about:config page if you have a layout.xml.prettyprint pref.
You can open the about:config page via the location/address bar. You can accept the warning and click "I'll be careful" to continue.
2jscher2000 Indeed, now it shows xml properly. The problem is in Hola add-on. The same page i get with "inspect element": <note hola_ext_inject="disabled"> <to>Tove</to> <from>Jani</from> <heading>Reminder</heading> <body>Don't forget me this weekend!</body> </note> Evidently, this is not valid xml for FF. I had Hola long before the problem appeared, so i guess either they changed their method or firefox changed it's parsing algorythm. Either way, i wrote to Hola to make them aware of the problem - hopefully it will be resolved soon. Thank you for your help.

No, as far as i can see there is no such pref.
