Sometimes when I choose "view page source" it does not work. I get error messages. These error texts are not produced by Mozilla, but by the remote server. I think, when I see this error, my page is a dynamic one, and was produced by the remote server using a post event. I suspect "view page source" does try to request the page again. As the browser does not submit the post information again (which is good), the remote server does not send the same content as are currently displayed in the browser window. Therefore an incorrect page source is shown. I'd expect the browser to cache the contents of the page while it is being displayed, to allow me to view the source, or to save it to disk. I assume there is already some kind of caching, because the browser needs to memorize the page anyway while it is being displayed. And printing does already give the correct contents. I suggest "view source" should access the same in-memory information.
