Source Viewer Tab Ver.0.3.2014042801 for Mozilla Firefox

What's this? ...abstract

This loads "View Page Source" and "View Selection Source" in tabs instead of new windows.

Full of features in "View Page Source" window is also available in tabs, and those tabs can be reopened by "Undo Close Tab" because this uses session store API.

By the way, this includes an UI to choose external viewer applications for Firefox 2's feature.

This is developed under a project to restructure TBE for Firefox 2.
