Re: [xsl] Unable to get Firefox to apply XSL

Thanks to everyone who responded.  Unfortunately I think local servers etc. 
would be much too complicated for my audience and require too much time/effort 
to set up for each person (everyone uses their own laptop).  This is for a 
library science course, and the only reason my students need this setup is so 
they can complete a single assignment - i.e., to create an EAD-encoded finding 
guide for the archival collection they've been working on.  The assignment is 
intended merely as a brief introduction to finding aids encoding, and the 
simplest way for them to check their work and make sure it looks nice/is 
correct is to view their EAD in their browser.  In years past this has been 
straightforward, but it's getting progressively more difficult to give them a 
simple turn-key method, what with different laptops, different operating 
systems, and different browsers.  I suppose I could give them Saxon and a 
pre-written batch file so all they have to do is double-click; saxon is pretty 
self-contained.
Anyway, thanks very much for all the options and the discussion - I've learned 
a lot and will save all these emails for future reference :)

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

Michele
