User Reviews
Pros
- Provides reliable view-source functionality on Firefox for Android (works as intended)
- Useful for web development on mobile — helps find CSS selectors and inspect elements, including content behind logins
- Available to standard Firefox for Android users without needing Nightly; fills a missing native feature
Cons
- Opens new tabs or redirects unprompted (spammy popups/changelog/automatic redirect after install)

Is View Page Source Safe?
Risk impact
Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.
View Page Source does not require any sensitive permissions.
Risk impact analysis details
Risk likelihood
Risk likelihood measures the probability that a Firefox add-on may turn malicious. This is determined by the publisher and the Firefox add-on reputation on Firefox Add-ons Store, the amount of time the Firefox add-on has been around, and other signals about the Firefox add-on. Our algorithms are not perfect, and are subject to change as we discover new ways to detect malicious extensions. We recommend that you always exercise caution when installing a Firefox add-on.
View Page Source is probably trust-worthy. Prefer other publishers if available. Exercise caution when installing this add-on.
