When I view the source of a Web page, entity references are
inconsistently displayed.  Some such as × show as the translated
characters while others such as & are not translated.

My old bug report #591114 was closed as WontFix with the assertion that
> Since the DOM doesn't contain entity references, only characters,

However, the display does indeed show  , &, and some other
entity references.

Can the display of a page source be made consistent, preferably with the
entity references untranslated?

See <https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=591114>.
