I see the XML tree and not the print version if I open that link in a tab (54, 55).

Do you possibly have this pref on the about:config page?

  • layout.xml.prettyprint

The second link sends JSON data and is shown by Firefox like it is send.

Note that Firefox comes with a built-in JSON viewer.

For me, it is treated as HTML, in other words, I see just the text nodes within the tags, not the tags themselves. If you're getting the same thing, you may want to use Internet Explorer 11 for viewing XML layout for the time being until you find a suitable add-on.

You can use "View Page Source" in the right-click context menu if you want to see the page as raw HTML code. I don't know of a way to translate HTML code to some JSON format.

There is also the jsb (JavaScript Beautifier) command in the Web Developer toolbox.
