'Sup everyone, I wanted to post this somewhere, but I couldn't find an appropriate looking forum, so may I apologise if this is in the wrong place.

If you attemp to view the source code, you can view it no problem. You can also click on it, as though you were going to edit it. However, when you attempt to edit it, you can't. Try it out and see for yourself, and post a sloution here if you find one.

Thanks a lot for looking into this!

Source code of what?

Read-only file or file is on read-only filesystem?

Sorry Zucca, I should've specified that. :;):

It's source code for web pages. You can't edit it.

Thanks for looking into this.

I'm not getting you. Are you talking about the right click option "view page source"? If so that's normal you can view the source on any web page.
The source viewer in Firefox is not an editor....it's just a browser window displaying plain text.  If you want to edit a web page, save it to a writeable location and open it with a text editor.  You may be able to find an extension to edit instead of view, or possibly configure Firefox to use a text editor of your choice to view page source. I can't say for sure if either one is possible...just guessing.
