How do I tell Firefox to open source in a new tab, instead of a new window?

I was just wondering if there was a way to tell Firefox to open source in a tab instead of a new window. Now that there are tab groups I like that I can group my views together, and have one window instead of multiple windows across my bar. I'm running Win7-64bit and Firefox 4. I don't even know if this is a possibility but if it is, I'd like to do it. (wasn't able to find via searching on Google or the help files)

I've never seen anyone mention a way to do this, but I like the idea. The thing is, from viewing the menus in the source viewer, I can see that it isn't a normal Firefox window, so someone might need to build an add-on to do it (similar in principle to the add-on that embeds Internet Explorer into a tab).

I have never used it, but you can try this add-on - Source Viewer Tab - https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/source-viewer-tab/

I use this code with a PrefBar button (and a shortcut key) to open the source in a new tab: 


var url = 'view-source:' + content.document.location.href;
gBrowser.selectedTab = gBrowser.addTab(url);

This code will open the page source in the sidebar: 

var url = content.document.location.href;
openWebPanel(url,'view-source:' + url);

You can also use the web developer plugin and there is a setting to view source in a tab. The keyboard short to view source with web developer is ctrl+shift+u.
