XML view broken because of the plugin

🐛 Bug Report

Selenium IDE breaks XML viewer of firefox (a blank page is displayed instead of the XML tree).

To Reproduce

open a page with content type text/xml (with and without the selenium plugin enabled)

Expected behavior

XML tree is displayed by firefox

Environment

OS: Windows 7 Selenium IDE Version: 3.3.1 Browser: Firefox Browser Version: 62.0 64 Bit

@tourdedave since we know which tabs are opened by the IDE, it is worth checking if we can register the content scripts only with them during runtime.
The webextension architecture is confusing users because content scripts and background scripts always run, unlike the popup.

I still have this issue. Firefox 78.0.2 (64-bit) Mozilla Firefox for Ubuntu Selenium IDE Version 3.17.0 Is there any effort on this issue yet? any dirty "workaround" yet? (and using FF in privacy mode is not what I was asking for ;-) )

[joergi]

any updated on this @tourdedave or @corevo ? The bug is now nearly 2 years online.....

Same problem still exists: Firefox 123.0.1(64-Bit), Selenium IDE 3.17.4

I have to turn it off to see the lovely XML-trees.

@peterdd - v4 is now in beta if you'd like to try a native app instead of a browser extension!
