When I try to view the source code of a web page, I have to use the horizontal scroll. How can I make the text like it does on my IE6?

If necessary, you can change the setting this way as well:

(1) In a new tab, type or paste about:config in the address bar and press Enter/Return. Click the button promising to be careful.

(2) In the search box above the list, type or paste wrap and pause while the list is filtered

(3) Double-click the view_source.wrap_long_lines preference to toggle its value from false to true
