Can I open an AJAX response in a new tab using Firebug

I used to be able to open AJAX responses in a new tab using Firebug

I'd right click the response, and Open in a New Tab, and it would work fine. The POST or GET data would be reposted to the same page, so I could see the response.

Since a recent Firefox update, if I Open in a New Tab, it opens the AJAX target, but without any data posted to the page.

Is there something I can do to get the old functionality back? I would LOVE to be able to view an AJAX response in a new tab, along with all posted data...

Thank you all in advance.

Here's what I can see... to get to this I click the FireBug button top right

Solution

  • The Network panel in the Firefox DevTools up to Firefox 58.0 only does GET requests when you choose the option Open in New Tab for a request.

    As mentioned in a post in the Firebug discussion group, bug 1220758 was filed to change this behavior to work like in Firebug. This bug is fixed for Firefox 59.0. So, starting from that version a POST request will be done when the original request was made using POST.
