User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; de-DE; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041122 Firefox/1.0
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; de-DE; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041122 Firefox/1.0

The Firefox Source-viewer saves the sourcecodes in long lines, even if i
layouted the source with notepad this style:
<html>
 <head>
   <title>Titel</title>
 </head>
etc.
Firefox-Source saves it :<html><head><title>Titel</title></head>etc.
this is very blocking while developing long codes.
I always have to step backt to MS-IExplorer and the notepad, even if your
Source-Viewer is beter cuz using colors and layout but has the problem with saving.
PS: You could make the Firefox Sourcer able to edit the Code saved on my HDD

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. View Source
2. Save File
3. Open file with notepad, because Firefox is not abled to edit Source-Codes

Actual Results:  
I still got the whole Code in one line, this blocks while developing.

Expected Results:  
It should save the Source Code layouted as it shows it to me, not one behind the
other.

You probably need to check the FAQ sheet and other troubleshooting resources
for Firefox.

Have you tried Composer?

Are you certain that this is not a problem with note pad?

WFM: I can open a view-source window and see HTML source with
syntax highlighting. I can save from that window and open in a
text editor (unix line endings).
Hm, k if u think so...
What is Composer? is this just another text editor?
And r there really differences between Windows and Unix/Linux Line-Endins, what
a ****... (MS and their Licenses and Monopoles)

@Mozila team: You could make the Firefox for Windows save source-codes with
windoze line ends, thx.
Firefox doesn't even modify the line endings used in the original page. I.e. if
the page uses windows line endings, the file saved by Firefox will also use
Windows line endings.

Get rid of Notepad. Use any other text-editing software, like Notepad2 or use a
special HTML-editing software, like Nvu.

Thanks, but i'm using this Source-Viewer with files from MY machine or MY
Apache-Server and so on and i always get that damned retangles between the text,
althout i still use MS-Windoze :(

I tested it again, and it works as I said in previous comment. Try it yourself:

You're not using View Selection Source, are you?
OK, OK, i tried it to for the one-hundred-and-first time
and now it works, but i swear (hope im spelling it correct *G*) my first tries
always saved it with that damned retangles between the text...
oh, i just saw: it is still if there are the unix endings coming from the
server... would be nice, if FF would save it in system line endings (in know, MS
sux but i have to use it as any other gamer).....
So lets freeze this thread, now i know what the problem is...
Thx 4 all your help, bye
