Hi,
I don't have the technical knowledge to confirm this issue but I'll add product and component so the team can make some research on it. Hopefully, someone with a more deep understanding of this matter can help. Feel free to route this ticket to the corresponding team.

Regards,
Jerónimo

Don't know. Hail Mary to kmaglione, who has done a lot in toolkit/components/viewsource/...

The IP address from view-source page is actually from the cache, so I think this bug is WONTFIX.

This was not a cache issue, since the cache was cleared before accessing the site with an already configured proxy, however it's no longer reproducible in the latest version of FF. So someone did in fact fix it.
