Question

Is there a way to get an html for active tab in browser (Firefox in my case) without using selenium?

Similar topics were raised before, but there were no clear answers.

You could use the following code to get the source.For parsing use python library such as Beautiful Soup

import urllib2

response = urllib2.urlopen("http://google.com")
page_source = response.read()
print page_source`
