User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.0; en-US; rv:1.9.2.13) Gecko/20101203 Firefox/3.6.13

When you enter any site which is reported as phishing site, a red dialog prevents you from entering the site. One of the options you have is "Ignore this warning". When you click "Ignore this warning" you will actually enter the website.

Now, click CTRL+U (view source) and you are prompted again with the web forgery dialog, and this time 

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. open phishing web site
2. click "ignore this warning"
3. click "view page source" (ctrl+u)
4. click "ignore this warning"
Actual Results:  
nothing happens

Expected Results:  
view page source. actually, i don't expect to see the web forgery warning dialog at all once i entered the website by clicking "ignore this warning"

this is a problem i noticed many times before. When you go to "view page source", the page is actually reloaded from the server, and the results are shown as plan text instead of rendered as html. this could be a problem for example in case of server generating random data/data which differs upon request (for example based on cookies or sessions).
What I would like is a feature like Google Chrome which always show you the source of the page which is actually being rendered in the very moment you click "view page source".

hope this helps
