Hi, sorry I intended for it to be a work-around if you needed to view source right away, using Firefox. I didn't intend for it to be a circumvention method as much as I meant for it to be a means of seeing some code while the "bug" gets sorted out (however it ends up going). My opinion on the matter is that you should be allowed to see the infected source code, I don't really mind if there is a warning, but you can see the actual page itself if you ignore the warning, so why not be allowed to see the - on most occasions - less harmful source code?
