(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[Helder Rossa]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:2.0b10pre) Gecko/20110116 Firefox-4.0/4.0b10pre
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:2.0b10pre) Gecko/20110116 Firefox-4.0/4.0b10pre

The latest version of Firefox does not render XML files with xml-stylesheet instruction. (i.e: <?xml-stylesheet type="text/xsl" href="/static/svnindex.xsl"?>)

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open a XML with xml-stylesheet instruction 

Actual Results:  
Nothing happens! The page is not rendered and the current rendered page is not changed.

Expected Results:  
XML should be transformed to HTML-Document and then rendered correctly like a normal HTML page.

I've done the test with in HTTPS attempting to browse a SVN (DAV) repository.

I add the XML and XSL file for helping. Using locally (by file:) does not work also.

strangely I found out that using file:///home/user/somepath/svn.xml in Namoroka (3.6) does not work either!? 
The good thing is that the https://code.somedomain.com/svn/Projects/trunk/ or running locally over HTTP (i.e: http://localhost:8000/media/svn.xml) works fine. So I guess the test should be done over HTTP.

I found out that closing the browser seems to fix the problem. But after a while stops working again :-S.

Then after a while I found out that every time I use tab group (Ctrl+E) try to go to a page that has the xsl processing xml it does not work!!

I put a test in my server: http://zlabs.org/st/svn.xml

So the test is easy:
1 - Open a fresh FX4 and confirm that http://zlabs.org/st/svn.xml works fine;
2 - Go to another page (i.e: about:home);
3 - Go to Tab Group (Ctrl+E);
4 - Try to open http://zlabs.org/st/svn.xml again... (does not work anymore);

This is confirmed in a clean profile on the Ubuntu daily builds:

The URL will not work in the current tab after going to the tab group, but will work in another tab.
