A simple request. I want to be able to show line numbers in view source for Firefox. It already has the pretty syntax highlighting, and fifty thousand developer friendly extensions - where is the line number option for view source?
I can’t wait for this either!
One INEFFICIENT way around this: You can “Show Source” while validating on the W3C site, and this includes line numbers. I tend to justify using this by acknowledging that I would be validating the source anyway.
I do not even use view source any more with all the extensions now available. The firebug extension with the debugger tab has the line numbers for you.

Eric: I use firebug as well - though I prefer something like a view source for a quick look at the overall markup, without having to try and find elements in the small firebug window. Sometimes firebug is just overkill, ya know?
Would be a simple change to have this option surely?
Dammit I might even suggest a patch myself - god bless open source software…
I’ve been looking for an extension that can do this for forever. Someone please write it for me. :)
It’s been a long time since this was talked about, but did any of you find a solution to this?
