Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 333355

(addons.mozilla.org Graveyard :: Public Pages, enhancement)

Description

[Sean M. Burke]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.8) Gecko/20050513 Fedora/1.0.4-1.3.1 Firefox/1.0.4

Mozilla Addons RSSs like this just show as an unstyled XML tree:
  https://addons.mozilla.org/rss/?type=T&list=newest
That's not very user-friendly.

You should take a second and add a stylesheet.  Here's a discussion of it all,
with some stylesheets you can use or adapt:

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. hit https://addons.mozilla.org/rss/?type=T&list=newest
2. Puzzle at the crypticness of the XML tree and the "This XML file does not
appear to have any style information associated with it. The document tree is
shown below."
3. Pull coat over head, hide under desk, and cry.

RSS feeds are, in general, not meant to be read directly.  

In the mean time, you should try the Feedview extension:

Nope.  Altho fixing that one would fix this one too (but would probably be
harder; my bug, this one, is fixable with just the addition of the <?...?> line
to point to a decent stylesheet.

This was fixed in Bug 302121.

Duping to that one because it's actually being worked on, although this one is older.
