[firebug] Filter in network tab

[Geoffrey Hoffman]

To make Firebug as good as Chrome Developer Tools, I need a simple string
filter in the network tab. That is, a text-entry field to show ONLY
requests matching a string. For example, if I put in *_utm* I would only
see hits going out to Google Analytics.

To make Firebug even better than Chrome Developer Tools, make it a regex
filter!

Cheers-

Many people (including me) have been requesting better filters in Firebug
-- in various tabs, including Net -- for years. So far we're still waiting.

It would also be helpful if some of the filters that *do* exist actually
worked well. For example, I can use Firebug's regex filter to search for
items in my main (long) JavaScript file... but it seems to work
erratically, mostly just finding strings in comments rather than
identifiers like variable names. Even worse, the comment strings are shown
in gray text overlayed by a gray selection tone that makes them completely
illegible, and if I click off the found text in an attempt to make the gray
selection tone go away, the whole found string disappears and I jump back
to the main text area. Has anybody ever found any of Firebug's search
filters useful? Am I doing something wrong?

See issue #3699 <https://github.com/firebug/firebug/issues/3699>. Note that Firebug
3 <https://getfirebug.com/releases/firebug/3.0/> will integrate into the
built-in DevTools, which already filter by the entered expression. So when
that version is released, this issue will be solved automatically.
