Hi, great work on getting the web socket inspector into Firefox Dev Tools. It was the last thing tying me to using Chrome for me primary web development.
I have a few suggestions for improvements and useful functionality that I’d like to see:
- Make the “Size” and “Time” columns have a maximum width, or make the columns in general be resizable. Currently if you expand the dev tools window the Time column becomes very large with a lot of wasted white space that could be used for showing more of the data
- Add a total transfer size for the entire connection (both upload & download ideally)
- When the protocol is a supported one for nicer display, expand that section by default rather than the “Raw Data” section
- Support regular expressions for filtering
Great job with this so far. If any of these sound like good potential “first contributions” to Firefox I’d love to help out and implement them if pointed in the right direction to getting started.
