Default source code viewer command line
Not sure if this is the right place to ask this but does anyone know what is the command line to launch the built in source code viewer for FF please?
I've read someone that it's: "C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe" "view-source"
But this doesn't work.
If anyone's able to shed some light on it, that would be great.
Thanks.

Thanks.
That works but I'm trying to add the default source code viewer to the ViewSourceWith extension.
I add the path to FF and if I add view-source: as parameter then when I click to check the source using those details, a page loads with the following address: view-source:file:///C:/Program%20Files%20%28x86%29/Mozilla%20Firefox/
The contents of the page seem to list all the .dll files being used by FF.
Is there anything I can add to the parameters to make it load the current page in the source viewer please?
The view source: does not give you the option to edit the source code. It only gives me the option to view it. I had notepad+ set as my external source viewer in version 16 but now I no longer have the option in 18 even though external viewer is set in config. What am I missing?
