928975 - Log network requests even if the network monitor isn't the currently active tab

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 862341

(DevTools :: Netmonitor, defect)

Description

[Samuel Hodge]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.3; WOW64; rv:24.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/24.0 (Beta/Release)
Build ID: 20130910160258

Steps to reproduce:

1. Go to any website
2. Open the developer tools and switch to a tab other than the network monitor
3. Refresh the page
4. Switch to the network monitor tab


Actual results:

The network monitor is empty.


Expected results:

The network monitor should have logged all requests made since the page refresh. 

It becomes a hassle when you are in the debugger and realize a bug is caused by a faulty net response and then find the log empty because the network monitor tab wasn't activated. Having the developer tools open should be reason enough to log all network requests.
