Change this way
- Right click on a xml file
- Choose "Properties"
- Click on the "Open With" tab
- Choose your new default editor
If you still face the issue Please have look on this page : http://linuxfud.wordpress.com/2006/09/03/ubuntu-linux-file-associations/
(or )
Change the default "Open with" program for a file type
In Nautilus, right click on the file and choose Properties from the menu that appears. The Properties dialog opens.
Click on the Open With tab. A list of applications appears.
Select the default application you want for the file type. If the application is not on the list, use the Add button to add the application to the list.

open the defaults.list file
sudo subl /usr/share/applications/defaults.list
and search for the xml extension:
text/xml=firefox.desktop
and replace it for example for the sublime text editor or your choice
text/xml=sublime_text.desktop
Enjoy!
