Wheen I put the rss url Forum version: SMF 2.0.17 into a browserr, the browser tries too donload a file.

What browser are you using? Does the same happen here?

May be something. Vintage IE works, both FF & Vivaldi results in
<rss version="0.92" xml:lang="en-US">

Yes it does
And what browser are you using?
The saae thing doees not happen i every browser.
Am using the feed to display llatest posts in a module on a joomla website but the module displays error feed not foounnd
Using firefox. Displays OK in Gnome Browser on Ubuntu.
it's a firefox setting...
works fine in Chrome... it aslo works fine if you tell firefox to open it rather than download it.
One working now.
All fixed.
Bit like magic.
Still broken here, on FF (esr, latest) & Vivaldi (latest).
As Kindred noted above, you need to tell FF what to do. Note that FF abandoned RSS functionality a while back, & now treats RSS .xml just like any other file - you can open it or download it. If you want full RSS functionality, you need an add-on.
FF setting attached, where you tell it to open or save.
