E.g. when my actual HTML source looks like this:

"&<>'

it is displayed in "View Source" as this:

"&<>'

I feel this is not entirely correct.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create a test.html file with the following text in it: "&<>'
2. Click "View Source"

Actual Results:  
Now "&<>' is visible

Expected Results:  
It should have shown 

"&<>'

in my opinion. (Apparently Internet Explorer feels te same)
that's odd, when i load the url i provided in mozilla trunk (4/4-06) it does the
right thing...

please explain precisely how you reach "view source"
URL: view-source:data:text/html,"&amp...
Okay, you're right. I should have been more precise.

The problem occurs when you select the piece of code in Firefox (displayed 
as "&<>'), and _then_ right-click the selection and select "View selection 
source". 

In all other situations the source is displayed correct.
