How to view page source in Firefox

by Karen on April 2, 2010

Yesterday I was trying to confirm that my Feedburner code was correctly placed in my footer on a new website.  But I forgot how to view source.  Seems simple enough.  People that are techy take this kind of thing for granted.  I couldn’t remember how I did it 9 months ago when I first set up my blog.

  1. Open the webpage that you want to view source.
  2. Hit  CTRL U
  3. Bam
  4. It opens the source in a new window, and looks something like this…..

I don’t know how to read the programming language that it shows. Yet. But now, at least I can find it. :)

You might want to look at Firebug, a FF add-on. It’ll allow you to view the source code in-line with the site, and add / remove pieces as you’re troubleshooting and see what happens.

I just downloaded the Firebug add-on. It looks awesome, but a bit beyond my ability. I’m not sure if I’m quite up to editing code yet, but I’m working up to be able to utilize it…
