In v31.0 I can no longer display "raw" XML files with line breaks and "<" and "/>" characters. Is there a setting that will give me back this option?
Until a few days ago when I opened an XML file with Firefox I would see the file contents displayed with line breaks and "<" and "/>" and elements. Like this:
<typeOfResource>still image</typeOfResource>
<genre authority="marcgt">picture</genre> <genre authority="nmc">Print, Photographic</genre> <originInfo> <dateIssued encoding="marc">1884</dateIssued> <dateIssued encoding="marc">1884</dateIssued> <issuance>monographic</issuance> </originInfo> <language>
Now it displays like this:
still image picture Print, Photographic 1884 1884 monographic eng electronic
Without line breaks or tags. I need to see the full XML file. How can I set FireFox to display this for me? One of my colleagues uses v31.0 and the XML displays with tags and line breaks for him.

As an example, I was looking at sitemap.xml files (Google search for inurl:sitemap.xml). For those that do not have a stylesheet declared, you still should see the classic "highlighted source" presentation:
Example: http://www.website.com/sitemap.xml
Are the files that do not display as expected similar in not declaring a stylesheet?
As a temporary workaround, you can view source to see the original . Either:
- Ctrl+u
- right-click > View Page Source

It turns out that some sort of Skype add-on was the problem. Uninstalling Skype solved the problem.
Great detective work. It's odd how that click-to-call extension creates such random issues...
Thank you folks for filing the issue and for the hint in the right direction. In my case it wasn't the skype extension but the add-on "Selenium Builder 2.3". For me, disabling that add-on fixed the issue.
