Is your website public? The URL of the page with this issue would help.

It's independent of website. Works (not) the same on every website. I can't attach image here, but you can see on this pictures:

Same AJAX POST message on two tabs:

Post fields doesn't shows on Console tab.

But it shows on Network tab.

Thank you for the screenshots. You can attach files on bugzilla.org using the "Attach File" link.

What version of Firefox are you using?

With Firefox 58 (Developer Edition), when visiting https://www.google.com while logged into Google and in normal browsing mode, I can get a POST XHR request. It appears to not happen in private browsing mode, or if I am not logged into Google. I can see the content of the request in the console.

In Firefox 57, under similar conditions, the Query String appears, but not the Form Data.

I'll attach the screenshots.

Firefox 57, POST XHR request on www.google.con to play.google.com. The Query string is displayed, but not any Form Data

@csibra: I can't reproduce the problem.

Here is what I am doing (running Firefox 61, Win10):

1) Open the DevTools Toolbox (F12) and select the Network panel
2) Load http://janodvarko.cz/firebug/tests/601/Issue601.htm
3) Press the POST button on the page
4) Select the new request in the panel and go to the 'Params' side panel.
I can see the POSTed data (in my case: `date: Fri, 04 May 2018 11:31:53 GMT`)
5) Select the Console panel, expand the request there and select the 'Params' tab.
I can see the same POSTed data.

Does this works for you.

Can you test on Firefox 61?
