On Windows you mean? Opening Nmap XML in Firefox works for me on GNU/Linux.
Usually, I'll open these files in Internet Explorer or a proper xml viewer because they don't display in firefox - maybe the lack of file:// is the reason?
I wouldn't be surprised. I think a string like C:\Program Files\Nmap\nmap.xsl is not a URI. If changing it to file://C:\Program Files\Nmap\nmap.xsl makes it work in Firefox on Windows, I say we should do it. I have a feeling that it should even be file://C:/Program Files/Nmap/nmap.xsl but I won't commit to that until I read some documentation that says that's right. Can you (or somebody) write a patch to add the file:// prefix? If not, I'll see if I can find some time to do it. There's some documentation at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File_URI_scheme. The change should not affect the --stylesheet or --webxml options, only the default local filesystem stylesheet location.
