Hi, I am trying to disable view-source URLs and the developer tool option in Firefox browser to make Linux system files unaccessible . Because if we type "view-source:///etc/passwd", the browser displays the content of the file and also the content can be seen by using developer tools. I am new to browsers domain, so it would be great if some one could help me out.

Thanks
