Embedded code blocks and Firefox non-breaking spaces

I've created an HTML-page with the following body:

PHP Code:

<pre>
|          |
|&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;|
|          |
</pre> 


The first line contains ordinary and the last line contains non-breaking spaces.

Then I started the Python web-server with:

Code:

python3 -m http.server

In Firefox I copied the page and this looks good:
the first line contains ordinary spaces and the other two contain non-breaking spaces.
Also the indentation looks fine, even in the first line.
