Now I hit Ctrl+U to see what code they had to be considered 'malicious', and it doesnt show the source code, instead it shows the same warning again, now if I were smart enough to hit Ctrl+U, then I dont need that warning again right? Furthermore, when this warning appears after hitting Ctrl+U, none of the buttons work - the "get me out of here" "Ignore this warning" etc. if none of the buttons work, why show the warning in the first place? Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Go to url 2. Hit Ctrl+U Actual Results: Shows Reported attack site warning. Expected Results: Show the source code. I had this problem with a site and I tried using firefox to find what script code has been injected, by using view source. Firefox assumes I am a newbie and shows me the reported attack site warning even in view source mode. Then I had to use IE8 to view source to see the injected source code as it appears in client side - bottom line - if user wants to view source, better show the source, irrespective of attack site or not.
I think this is intended, so you can't use the malicious code/be attacked by it, looking at the source.

How can I 'be attacked' when I am using view source mode? In that mode, it is not supposed to execute any code at all, if it does, then it is another bug.
