Hi,

I'm resurrecting this old thread, just to say that there is now a
WebExtension implementing the "MathML view source" feature (using better
syntax highlighting and handling the invisible spaces too):

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/mathml-view-source/

So I'm proposing to remove that feature from the core mozilla source.
The only concern I have is for Thunderbird/Seamonkey as it is not
clear yet what will be the future regarding WebExtensions.

Any opinions?
