Steps to reproduce:

Duplicating my request mentioned in https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1403530

For debug purposes I need to collect some records(usually only specific API calls) as HAR and provide to our developers for further analysis


Actual results:

In Network tab there is only item 'Save all as HAR', so final file contains hundreds or not needed records and involved persons have to waste time for filtering HAR file manually.
To be honest current implementation seems unreasonable to me, I can't imagine who can ever need to save hundreds records...


Expected results:

There should be a way to save to HAR only selected/specific/filtered records (like Wireshark does)
Thanks for the report!

I agree, it should be possible to select specific requests in the Network panel and export them. Note that the Network panel doesn't support multiselection feature, so it would have to be implemented first - probably as part of another report.

Note that you can filter Network panel content using buttons in the Toolbar (HTML, CSS, XHR, etc.) or the "Filter URLs" box and export only what's visible. Even if this isn't flexible as selecting specific requests it might help in many cases.
