Debugging my web app with JSON/Firefox - Firefox handling of JSON?


The JSONView Firefox extension is really nice.

It formats, highlights, etc...

The only drawback is that it requires the mime type to be set to "application/json".But it is not really a drawback for you, because based on your "answer" (which shouldn't be an answer) your problem is that the mime type is "application/json" and as a result Firefox doesn't know what to do with it and downloads it instead of displaying.

JSONView


Try the Open in browser extension.

I would look into the preferences > applications list. What application is targeted for "application/*" ?

Apart from that, are you using FireBug? Absolutely essential, since you can look at the headers and response content within the network view.
