I am wondering how from a 'View Page Source" window (accessed by right-clicking on a page and pressing on View Page Source) I can get to a certain page's source (any one). If I can't, it's a suggestion.

You can prefix any link with the view-source: protocol to see the page source in a tab.

"View Page Source" is for the page that is being viewed when you right-click and select that menu item.
