From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; 0.8.1) BuildID: 2201040404 Using 'window.location=view-source:' in JavaScript doesn't bring up the View Source window, as it does in both Netscape 4.x and IE. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. View the above url in Netscape 4.x or IE 2. Click the "View Source Code" button 3. Notice that the View Source window is opened 4. Open the url in a recent Mozilla build 5. Repeat step 2 and notice that no View Source window is opened Actual Results: Nothing happens. Expected Results: The View Source window should have been opened. The applicable HTML code from the url: <FORM><INPUT TYPE=button NAME="view" VALUE="View Source Code " OnClick='window.location="view-source:" +window.location.href'></FORM> Also, I wasn't sure which Component to assign.

View-source isn't supported at the moment. See bug 15372. I'm not sure if this should be made a duplicate of that one, since this is about javascript access and it sounds like that one is about typing it in the location/URL box. I'll confirm this bug. Should it be moved to browser/networking? Or duplicate?

this is a dupe of the we need a view-source: protocol handler bug.

This used to work. I will try to find out when it broke.
