Streamlining Webpage Source Code Viewing in Firefox
Are you frustrated by the need to constantly switch between windows to examine webpage source code? Eliminate the clutter of multiple windows and enhance your workflow with the Source Viewer Tab extension for Firefox. Previously, Firefox’s standard method for viewing source code involved opening a new window each time. While occasional use isn't problematic, frequent code review can quickly lead to a disorganized and inefficient experience.
Extension Options
Following installation and a Firefox restart, exploring the extension’s options is recommended. You’ll find the ability to revert to the original external window behavior if desired. Alternatively, you can maintain the default setting, which displays source code directly within tabs. A further option allows integration with an external application, providing flexibility in how you access the code.
It's worth noting that Firefox also offers a built-in configuration option, accessible via about:config, to open webpage source code in an external application.
Before and After: A Visual Comparison
After implementing the extension, observe the improved layout.
The original webpage and its corresponding source code are now conveniently displayed side-by-side within the same browser window.
Concluding Remarks
The Source Viewer Tab extension provides a more organized and efficient method for viewing webpage source code. By minimizing window clutter, it streamlines the development and debugging process. Ultimately, this extension enhances productivity for anyone who frequently inspects website code.
