The difference is that the Inspector shows the page exactly as it exists now, including any DOM changes that have been done via JavaScript. I typically use 'View Source' when I want to see the original page content before anything had been altered. It looks like the the original commenter is talking about was first reported 12 years ago[1], so I wouldn't count on it being resolved any time soon. It just doesn't seem to be something that many web browser users actually care about, so I don't blame the FF team for not assigning much priority to changing the current behavior, even though I'd also like View Source to work the way way Joeboy is asking for.
