Do you mean the headers or the source or both?  This will show you the
headers in a side bar:

http://livehttpheaders.mozdev.org/

I'm not totally sure how to get the exact source.  One of my dislikes of
firefox is that when you view source it has often been modified by firefox.
You could try something like

wget --user-agent="Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7) Gecko/20040803 Firefox/0.9.3" http://www.google.ie
