Review summary

Users praise Pretty XML for its attractive UI and ability to prettify and easily view XML, with many calling it one of Firefox's best XML viewers. However, recurring issues include caching that leaves stale XML on refresh, slow performance on larger files, and some missing configuration options (proxy setup, dark theme). A few users also note duplicate XML requests. Overall, strong positive sentiment with notable feature requests and a request for stability and configurability.

Pros

Pretty visuals and polished UI
Prettifies XML for easy reading and navigation
Highly regarded as one of the best Firefox XML view plugins
Convenient and user-friendly to use

Cons

XML view caching leads to stale content on refresh
Not configurable; missing options like automatic proxy configuration
Slow performance on larger XML documents (2-5MB)
Duplicate XML requests / the URL being fetched twice
