Selecting 'View Page Source' resubmits the request on forms with a POST method. I noticed this because it was causing unwanted extra transactions to go through to our DB.
Please see http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewtopic.php?t=489236 for the full description, and how I tested it.
Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.View Page Source on a page with a form (method=POST)
2.Click OK to the dialog
3.Request is resubmitted
Actual Results:
Request is resubmitted, causing potentially serious problems at the back end. The source you end up seeing is the source of the new request, not the one you were interested in.
Expected Results:
Wanted to see the source of the original request

Doesn't happen on the pre 2.0 versions - verified.
Using the Noia theme - doubt that matters though

There are quite a few reports that deal with this in similar ways. See bug 307089 for the 1.5 branch. See also bug 55583.
