This is happening to me under Windows XP as well.

what configuration arguments are listed in your about:buildconfig page?  look
for --enable-svg at the bottom of the page.

while svg.enabled can be set to true on the nightly builds, it will only have an
effect on your browser if your copy was built with --enable-svg as a configure
option.

i suspect that you don't have fully svg-enabled builds.

I have the same problem with Firefox 1.5RC1

Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8) Gecko/20051025 Firefox/1.5

svg.enabled is set on "true"
and it open correctly an SVG document on http links

please insure that you are closing the svg file with whatever is creating it.

 I saw a similar problem when creating svg output from gnuplot before I realised that the file needed to be explicitly closed by the program which was anticipating other possible output to the file.

Once closed the file was correctly formatted and displayed as svg an not xml.

Is this still reproducible with any supported version of Firefox? If not, please resolve this bug “WORKSFORME”. Thanks.
