This would make the context menus smaller and seems to make sense (to me anyway).

It may also allow for more UI stuff to launch external programs, reformat,
highlight etc.

Just a thought.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Right click
2.Choose "View Page Info"
3.No "Source" tab...
A source tab would imply a much bigger Page Info window. Since no other tab
would use this space, it'd look weird.
Allowing an external source viewer is bug 172817.

Suggesting WONTFIX.
The full page source has no place in the Page Info dialog. Therefore, this bug
in its current state is WONTFIX. However, I would have no problem with a View
Source button in the Page Info dialog.
Reporter, please respond to this. Can this bug report be changed to a request of
adding a View Source button in the Page Info dialog, or do you still want the
tabbed interface?

(Both alternatives may be WONTFIX'ed.)
It just struck me that view-source might "belong" in page info. It was something
that came to mind whilst using the LiveHTTPHeaders extension that installs
itself into the page info dialog.

Feel free to WONTFIX. I expect that you have bigger fish to fry at the moment
anyway :-)
These extra features should be implemented by extension.
