1777716 - Dev tools network tab, resend request insists on edit before send.

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(DevTools :: Netmonitor, defect, P2)

Description

[rehit.it]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64; rv:101.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/101.0

Steps to reproduce:

In dev tools > networking, right click on any previous request. Select "resend".

Actual results:

The request blocking interface is activated, insisting on a confirmation before sending.

Expected results:

In all previous versions of firefox, the request was sent automatically.
As a web developer who uses this 100's of times a day, I downgraded to version 101.

The Bugbug bot thinks this bug should belong to the 'Core::Networking' component, and is moving the bug to that component. Please correct in case you think the bot is wrong.

Thanks for filing, we are going to add a dedicated context menu entry to allow users to immediately resend.

Thanks - please also make sure it has a hotkey on it as well. Right-clicking a request and pressing n used to just replay that request straight away. Was quick and easy!

Reproduced the issue with Firefox 104.0a1 (2022-07-01) using the steps from the description, on Windows 10x64 and macOS 12. The request isn't sent automatically, a confirmation before sending is required.
The issue is verified fixed with Firefox 106.0 (20221010110315) and Firefox 107.0a1 (20221013100028) on Windows 10x64, macOS 12, and Ubuntu 20.04. The request is sent automatically.
