We should just remove the "save" option from the view-source window...

Over to the right component, but it sounds like a Mozilla install over top of an
older build is causing problems....

Yes, I installed on top of a 1.3 version.
Uninstalled 1.4
Reinstalled 1.4 and the problem went away.

Seems that the installer should warn about this problem.
