Actual Results:  
error message as in summary

Expected Results:

File /etc/mime.types defines xml, dtd, and xsl as text/xml

dtd are not recognised as xml files either.

Renaming the .xsl to .xml will result in correct rendering of the xml file

Your stylesheet is NOT a right XSLT... You give a renamed copy of test.xml

Comment 4

[Christian Wolfhagen]

On SuSE 9.3 (+ ?) the xsl extensions are of the mime type text/x-xslt.
This is defined in the file /usr/share/mime/packages/freedesktop.org.xml

To work around modify this file by commenting out the text/x-xslt mime-type and add <glob pattern="*.xsl"/> to the text/xml mime-type.
The run (as root) update-mime-database /usr/share/mime

This problem also exists on other Linux distributions and other UNIXes (including Solaris) and probably the workaround is (probably) similar

This is a dupe of bug 259100. Bug 259206 seems to be fixed for Firefox 1.5. Is it not a problem anymore?
