I wrote about some problems in page source viewer.
See that: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=290307

I think that solution for all problem if I can choose the "way of" page viewing.

Options:
A. Use internal page source view
B. Use external page source view
B1. path of external program
B2. define the parameters: %s - is the source file name
Example:
notepad.exe "%s"
or
B1: anyprogram.exe 
B2: -open "%s" -innewpage
See the Context Editor (fixedsys) options of program code management (Run, View,
etc).


Reproducible: Always

this is extensionmaterial.
Launchy (

) might be what you want ?

I don't know. That is in it's document:
* Launchy will enable you to open links and mailto's with external applications. *
So: links, and mailto's.

But I want to see "page source" in external editor, like Context (that can
parsing, and syntax highlighting the html, and have extra functions).
