I faced the same problem a year ago. It was part of an issue that I
posted on this list (on the 21st of February, to be precise). Martin
Honnen, in a reply to my post, surmised that Firefox executes the
stylesheet only when it is in the same folder or a subordinate folder as
the XML file, not when it is in a superordinate folder. I found this
assumption to be correct. So, as far as I was able to figure out back
then, there are two solutions to the problem:
1) Move the XSL stylesheet to the same or a subordinate folder as the
XML file.
2) Install a web server on the computer and serve the XML file via the
web server.
I chose option 2 because, in my case, it was the easier solution.
Cheers,
Wolfhart

This is XSL-coding-adjacent so I’m hoping someone knows.
Firefox is declining to apply an xsl stylesheet to an XML document.
This is a pair of documents I’ve used many times over the years for
demoing how the browser can be used to apply XSL to render an XML file
into HTML. Last year we had to tweak Firefox’s
privacy.file.unique.origin setting in about:config but that
particular setting doesn’t seem to be present in this latest version
of Firefox, at least I don’t see it in about:config, nor anything
resembling it. Both the XML and XSL are in the same local folder on
my desktop. If anyone knows a fix I’d be grateful.
Thanks
