1403383 - Show timings relative to the navigation start if "persist logs" is enabled

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 1531790

(DevTools :: Netmonitor, enhancement, P3)

Description

[Julian Descottes [:jdescottes]]

Attachment: netmonitor_persist_logs_timings.png

STRs
- go to any page (eg mozilla.org)
- open netmonitor
- enable "persist logs"
- reload the page several times and observe the netmonitor status bar

The timings keep increasing, which makes sense considering that they are relative to the origin of the timeline. However it could be useful and less confusing to also show the values for Finish, DOMContentLoaded & load relative to the start of the navigation. Not sure if the absolute value brings much information for such timings?

Any tips for the UI?

Note that the status info represents a summary of what is currently in the list. That's why all values increases as the user is navigating the page. But, yes, the timing info doesn't have to be actually that useful.

You are right, we can close this one.

I agree with Julian.
