Steps to reproduce:
I have some website which contains an iframe. I can point the developer tools at a specific iframe within a document with the button in the toolbar. This works.
Actual results:
When I reload the website, developer tools are pointed back to the main document. If I still want to use iframe, I have to point the developer tools again.
Expected results:
Developer tools should remember currently chosen iframe and use it even after reloading the website.

This sounds useful indeed. Thank you for filing this enhancement request.
I think the way to go would be to remember the target frame with some kind of unique identifier, so it can be re-selected after reloading the entire page.
Something similar is done for re-selecting DOM nodes in the inspector today: https://searchfox.org/mozilla-central/rev/7944190ad1668a94223b950a19f1fffe8662d6b8/devtools/client/inspector/inspector.js#1190-1230
Note that on some websites, iframe URL contains random "nonce". In this case, iframe's URL will be different on each request.
Is it possible to also handle this?
