Finding source codes and page rankings
I have just got the new upgraded Firefox, and I would like to know how to find two things in this browser: (1) the source codes for any site I visit, and (2) the page rankings for any site I visit,
Or aren't these available on Firefox? Roger

The View menu has the Page Source. If you are seeing the orange Firefox button, then tap the Alt key to temporarily display the menu bar, then you can access the source. It's also on the right-click context menu, and there is a keyboard shortcut.
For page rankings, do you mean Google PageRank? I think you need to install the Google toolbar to view that.
Hey... jscher2000 -- THANKS! That was VERY helpful. Made my day: Firefox. :-) Yes I was talking about Google on the page rank, and I have Google but can't find any page rank indicators on it. But that's another problem -- not Firefox. Thanks with Firefox! Roger
This hasn't worked for me. I've also tried the 'cmd + u' keyboard shortcut (I'm on a Mac) still to no avail! Any other ideas?
@pkgrace, what happens when you try to view source -- no window, blank window??
It's possible to change the source viewer in preferences, so if you have been running Firefox for a while, it might be worth checking that.
(1) Type or paste about:config in the address bar and press Enter (click the button promising to be careful, and please do be careful!)
(2) In the filter box, type or paste view_ and pause until the preferences are filtered
(3) If view_source.editor.external appears bold (set to true), double-click it to reset it to false. You're done, you can close about:config now.
If that isn't it, perhaps it's related to an add-on?? Please start a new question and use the feature to include a list of add-ons and customized settings with your question.
