Selenium IDE datadrivenv0.2 issue with Firefox 20.0

I have just updated my firefox to v 20.0. Whenever I open Selenium IDE in firefox , it show a popup error .

Failed to load user-extensions.js file=[PATH to file ...]datadriven_v0.2/datadriven.js lineNumber=37 error=ReferenceError:XML is not defined.

The reported line in the file is sth like this :

XML.serialize = function(node) {
    if (typeof XMLSerializer != "undefined")
        return (new XMLSerializer()).serializeToString(node) ;
    else if (node.xml) return node.xml;
    else throw "XML.serialize is not supported or can't serialize " + node;
}

I do not know any thing specific to selenium IDE ,if XML is part of Selenium IDE or firefox . However, it seems latest updates to Firefox has sth to do.

I ll appreciate if someone help me fix this issue.

I am posting this for anyone using sel-blocks; the above solutions don't seem to work, since sel-blocks is an add-on and not a user-extension. However, there is still a solution. I added the line suggested above:

var XML = {};

to this file instead:

xmlextras.js

This file can be found in (selenium extension folder)/chrome/content/selenium-core/scripts

If you aren't sure how to get to your selenium extension folder, roughly here is how:

C:\Users(your username)\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles(your firefox profile)\extensions{a6fd85ed-e919-4a43-a5af-8da18bda539f}

I apologize if I'm not using the correct format for posting an answer or anything, but I just want to make sure that anyone searching for the answer I was looking for is able to find something.

Sven's idea worked perfectly for me. I added the command

var XML = {};

to the beginning of my user-extensions.js file, closed FF and Selenium, and restarted them. They've been working perfectly since then. I'm up to FF v21.0 with no problems.

Thanks Sven!

You can fix this by declaring the XML-Object in datadriven.js before it is called.

var XML = {};
XML.serialize = function(node) {
    if (typeof XMLSerializer != "undefined")
        return (new XMLSerializer()).serializeToString(node) ;
    else if (node.xml) return node.xml;
    else throw "XML.serialize is not supported or can't serialize " + node;
}

I don't know if this has any side effects, but for me it works.

From checking the Selenium website, the latest version of SIDE only supports up to Firefox version 17.
