1246530 - Inconsistent filter buttons placement in Network Monitor

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(DevTools :: Netmonitor, defect)

Description

[Oskar Berggren]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Fedora; Linux x86_64; rv:42.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/42.0
Build ID: 20151102093252

Steps to reproduce:

The Firefox Network Monitor is inconsistent in the position of the filtering buttons (All/HTML(CSS/JS etc.) compared to the Console, Debugger and Performance monitor. Most of these have the buttons at the top, while the Network monitor has them at the buttom.

Particularly, the "Clear" button in the Network Monitor is tucked away far out in the bottom right corner and in my experience is hard to find. I generally look everywhere, including the context menu, without finding it, then I give up. Then I find it. In Console, however, it's located immediately right of the filter buttons, in a much more prominent position.

In general, all the inspectors and monitors have almost all their feature buttons near the top, expect for Network Monitor.
