In the latest versions, the ability to view the source code of the page has disappeared. Using a prefix "view-source:" doesn't work either.

How do I view the source code now?

For now, it's possible only on Nightly, with this addon.

Why was this functionality removed at all? To force the use of nightly?

And how long will it work in nightly?

IMHO, nightly is a toy and awkward browser, It is inconvenient to use it

Hi

Firefox for Android Nightly is an early look at what could be coming in Firefox for Android. It may have one or two unresolved issues, but it is a good way to see what may be coming down the track.

We have used the update of Firefox for Android to review core functionality, but that does not mean that view source is not included in a future update.

I wouldn't say it was removed. New app is not the old app minus viewsource, but the completely new app rewritten from scratch, which doesn't share any code with the old one and doesn't have this specific feature (yet).

I still do not understand: will the source code view be in the next versions or not? Regardless of whether it is created from scratch or not...

Seeing as they failed to include a vital function in this new version, I'll be deleting it and reinstalling an older version that still has the view source feature.

Where can I find this old version? There are so many flaws written from scratch that i want to remove Firefox altogether ...

Hi

The only version that we make available that will get security and stability updates (as well as new features) is the version currently available from the Google Play store.
