How do I stop Firefox opening XML docs with Google Reader?

Question

I am trying to analyse the XML response from using the Youtube API as follows

http://gdata.youtube.com/feeds/api/videos?q=dogs

When I try this the browser gets taken to Google Reader, where a feed is loaded with the query results. But I want the actual XML document to be displayed in Firefox. How can I do this? Thanks for reading.

Answer 1

Go to the option/preference settings for Firefox, under the "Applications" tab, search for "Web Feed", and change the option to "Preview in Firefox". You may also have an add-on like Better gReader that's automatically adding the feed to Google Reader, so you'll want to check that too.

Answer 2

FireFox recognizes that this is an Atom feed and automatically applies a transformation to display it like this. You could always look at the source code Ctrl+U and extract the actual XML and put in your favorite XML editor. FireFox's probably not the best XML editor anyway.
