Firefox’s Refreshing Source View

25 June 2009 | By Ian in Misc

Did you know you can trigger a refresh while viewing the source of a page? This feature has been around since the dawn of Firefox 2.0, but it is still unknown to many web professionals.

All the standard keyboard shortcuts work, including the F5 and Ctrl+Shift+R for a cache flush. Give it a try on your favorite dynamic page.

    That’s both funny and helpful.

    And extremely efficient vs. reload, right-click, View Page Source, aah crap – which one of the 15 “Source of: http…” is the latest!?!?

    Once again, my PHP skillin’ takes another step forward upon the stepping stones laid by The Ian Maddox
