Indeed, it appears the one Firefox displays (Ctrl + U) and what is downloaded does not always matches. There can be differences due to JS scripts.

Are we sure about it? It may be true for pages we download directly (e.g. links we explore), but not for the current page, as we get the source code from the tab. So, what we want in debug mode, is to add a button or something that allows us to display the source code for a given URL (not interpreted by the browser).

We should try to open a new tab, with view-source as a prefix for the URL. To verify on an example.
