If you serve the same page with application/rss+xml it won't error and displays the standard holding page for FF / RSS display. Although the first part is not a bug - probably an improvement, a) the warning doesn't indicate that the error lies in the actual content not structure or how the page is served b) this should probably be reflected in the application/rss+xml content type as well. Hope that helps. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Create an RSS standard feed - example on Wikipedia is sufficient 2. Serve page as application/xml and make sure http:// is not in the initial link tag 3. View the page Expected Results: I expected to see the standard Firefox RSS display page.
