Is there a way to visualize hidden(invisible) characters in Firefox? (or other browser) like MS Word (or other text editors) does?

Say, I want to see (count) spaces, newlines, other invisible chars... ?

If not, are there any text editors that can display these invisible characters copied from Firefox?

    Just curious: did you ever do a "view source"? If no: please do; do you still want to see all newlines and excessive whitespace such as indenting, which are, by design, ignored by a browser when rendering a page?

No, not really. You could replace them on-the-fly with printable characters, but then you won't have the original data any more.
