I don't see regexp: under Filtering by URL, but instead under Filtering by Properties:

https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Tools/Network_Monitor#Filtering_by_properties

That has a banner that says "New in Firefox 55".  You are running 54.0a2 and 53, which don't have that feature yet.

For your example and your Firefox versions, typing "thickbox" would be enough to quickly find thickbox.css and thickbox.js.  You may have a more complex use case, but it will have to wait until FF55.
