Details

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Fedora; Linux x86_64; rv:36.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/36.0 Build ID: 20150220131007 Steps to reproduce: I'm using Firefox for web development. I'm working on a website's 'loading' states -- like when a web page is still fetching data from the server, and I want to communicate that visually to the user by e.g. an animation. Actual results: FF doesn't have an option to temporarily throttle network speed. Expected results: To me as a web developer, it would be very useful to be able to throttle network speed, as e.g. Chromium is able to.
