Ok, here's something I needed to Google for a while before I found the answer at http://www.walkernews.net/2007/11/20/how-to-view-rss-feed... so I decided to share the information and make the search easier and save some time from someone else using the same search terms as I did (which I subtly hid in the text :-).
The problem I had was that when you're developing ATOM or RSS feeds, you can't view the raw XML feed in Firefox since it has an automatic feed preview functionality which parses the feed to HTML using JavaScript and you can't even use Firebug to check the XML since the whole document is changed. There's no about:config option for disabling this so you need to hack the browser JavaScript.
For Mac OS Firefox the right file is located at /Applications/Firefox.app/Contents/MacOS/components/FeedConverter.js - I didn't actually get take a look at the code, just searched for the comment saying "// show the feed page if it wasn't sniffed and we have a document" and fixed the if-statement after that to always evaluate to false by changing it to "if (false && result.doc && (!this._sniffed || ...". After this you just need to restart Firefox and start developing.
