Firefox - Developer Tools display XHR parameters

I am using the Firefox Developer Tools for debugging ajax request. This tools works perfectly for me, but today Firefox update to the 71 version, and there is something different for the display of XHR parameters (query string).

Before, the parameters were displayed like this (Firefox 70):
param1 = value1
param2 = value2
.... Version 70

But now, they are displayed like this (Firefox 71):
&param1=value1&param2=value2....
Version 71

Is not really a big problem, but when there is many parameters the reading become really difficult. Firebug users have you experienced the same issue ? And is there a way to display the parameters like before ?

Thanks !

Solution

  • This is a bug in Firefox 71, which already got reported as bug 1605172 and got fixed in Firefox 73.

    As a workaround, instead of checking the POST parameters in the console, you can have a look at them in the Network panel. Just select the request and switch to the Params tab. In there you'll see both the formatted output and the payload as it got sent over the wire.
