Where is view source gone in Firefox 6 ?
I recently upgraded to Firefox 6
And soon afterwards, I was wanting to look at the HTML source for a web page, and I tried to do what I normally do:
view -> page source
But its not there anymore!
A quick search of the menus didn’t find it, so I initially gave up & used internet explorer.
About a day later I decided: Right! It has to be somewhere!
I then found 3 different ways of viewing the page source code:
- right-click on a “empty” part of the page, and then select: view page source. Its quick, but doesn’t work of some parts of a web page.
- Ctrl U (like the previous technique: its quick, but doesn’t work if you have the cursor in a text input field)
- tools -> web developer -> page source
I still like the old view -> source
Maybe in firefox 7? or in firefox 96.5? 🙂
a couple of people have said that they did not like FF6 and wished they still had 5.so I’m sticking with the current version that I have 5.0.1.
Thanks, I was wondering where it had gone too! I suppose putting it under Web Developer makes some sense as it is not used by everyday users.
@Mike – the trouble with staying on 5.0.1 is that FF5 is no longer being updated (at all) whereas FF6 includes a large number of critical security fixes – that you won’t have…
I was using the entrecard and adgitize relocator, but it doesn’t work anymore.
Any advise?
I still using the old version of fire fox.I tried using that fir fox 6,and yet I still go for the old one.
Im using FireFox 10 now and i dont notice any improvements, only the annoyances. Im so used to viewing page source via menu – > VIEW > “view page Source” (which isnt there anymore) but automatically keep selecting “Full Screen” view for some reason I cant fathom. They dont look anything alike – but it is located where “view page source” used top be. Page Source is now under TOOLS > Web Developer > Page source – which is doubly annoying if you install the “web Developer” addon – because then you have two menu items the same.
I wish these so called User Infercae Nazis would provide an easy way for us end users to revert when we dont like there nancyboy ideas.
