[#23473] - RSS FEED does not work correctly

- # 23473
Steps to reproduce the issue
Check this page : https://www.joomla.org/rss-news-feeds.html
Feeds works sometimes, doesnt sometimes.
Seems to be the same with a JEvent feed.
Expected result
Feed shown in the page, not to dowload !
Actual result
The browser (Firefox) ask to save "index.php" result. Erratic behavior as some links works, some dont.
System information (as much as possible)
Last Joomla version, Last Jevent version (in my case)
Additional comments
JEvents developers are unable to find out why the feeds are not working anymore and the erratic behavior is reproduced on the joomla feed page...

Since this issue is not about the code of the CMS system but about the website, I'm closing it.
You can create a new issue at https://github.com/joomla/joomla-websites where website issues are tracked.
Can we re-open this please? This is an issue with that can be demonstrated with Joomla generated feeds - @Chabi01 used the joomla.org feed links in order to make it easy to replicate the issue.
See https://www.joomla.org/announcements.feed?type=rss or https://developer.joomla.org/?format=feed&type=rss
It arises with Firefox 64 and could be browser specific but other feeds work fine with Firefox 64 (e.g. http://feeds.bbci.co.uk/news/rss.xml) - try it with one of your own sites in Firefox 64,
I have done a lot of experimentation with mime types etc. and can't find what is different between the BBC feeds and the Joomla ones. BBC uses text/xml instead of application/rss+xml but changing that doesn't help in Joomla.

Firefox has removed support for Feeds completely! You need addons, now.
Edge, too. I didn't test other browsers.
but other feeds work fine with Firefox 64 (e.g. http://feeds.bbci.co.uk/news/rss.xml)
I don't know what this means. I don't see a feed, just xml source code.
So again, not a core Joomla issue if the selected browser is no longer supporting parsing a RSS or Atom XML document into something user friendly (FWIW Chrome has always required an extension for this).

Closing again then
@GeraintEdwards the difference:
<?xml-stylesheet title="XSL_formatting" type="text/xsl" href="/shared/bsp/xsl/rss/nolsol.xsl"?>which later load a <link rel="stylesheet" href="/shared/bsp/xsl/rss/css/nolsol_xsl.css" type="text/css"/>
BBC RSS It is styled XML document (when you open it in Browser).
Hi,
I see this : when i save the file, i can see several link to css file on my own site with feed links. If i removed the css style called in the file, i can then open the file in the browser.
Dont know if this is the issue or not.

I cannot replicate that with the feeds on that page. Note those feeds are generated by feedburner and not by joomla
