View Page Source has been moved to the "Web Developer" sub-menu. You can use any of the following to View Page Source:

  • Right-click a blank area of the page and choose "View Page Source"
  • Firefox button > Web Developer > View Page Source
  • Using the Menu Bar: Tools > Web Developer > Page Source
  • CTRL+U
  • ALT+T+W, release ALT key, letter O key

SafeBrowser: Thanks.

Mozilla: Well, you might have told us instead of having us hunt all over or have to look here.

Even though I've been updating my Beta versions (now in FF 8), I just noticed this stupidity now, because most of the time I still use FF 3.6. (Bring back the d*%n Status Bar! Then I'll use the new versions regularly.)

After more than 7 years of having "Page Source" be the most useful thing in the View menu (since at least version 0.8 back in 2004), these numbskulls decide that the View menu shouldn't provide all the viewing options available?
