Reason: Some websites do not allow you to go to the mobile page in a desktop browser (such as http://m.spiegel.de/article.do?id=749478).  Down the page, there's a line without spaces.  It would be good to know if the reason for the no spaces was because of some bad formatting of the webpage itself.

You can manually add "view-source:" to the beginning of a URL to show the source. You can also install MobileTools add-on which adds a "Page Source" command to the Site Menu. [https://addons.mozilla.org/af/mobile/addon/mobile-tools/]

Personally, I think this request is add-on territory and we should not add it into the app.

You can use viewsource:http://m.spiegel.de/article.do?id=749478 to see the source of the page.
I don't see any spaces between the words on that particular line, so it looks like a web page design error.
Also, you could check with a different mobile browser to compare.

I wasn't aware of the view-source as well as the addon.  Closing as WFM.
