In a popup, the Net Panels loads after a few requests

[Vidit Agarwal]

Hello Group,

I am running into a problem with the Firebug taking too long to load the Net Panel.

I have the Firebug Net Panel enabled by default. I open Firefox, the Net Panel loads, and I send a request which opens a simple page. This page opens a popup which has one small image file. 

The problem is by the time Firebug loads and enables the Net Panel, the image has loaded and that request (for that small image) almost never shows up in the net panel. I have reproduced this many times on a few different machines.

Is there a way Firebug can disable/delay the sending of first request on each page until the Firebug has loaded and Net Panel has activated?

Your help is appreciated.

I assume your problem is related to opening the popup. Can you provide a URL, so we can reproduce that?

Firebug just watches the network traffic, it doesn't influence it.

Though maybe the Persist option can help you to see the request for the image.

I think I know what the problem could be, but as Sebastian mentioned,
we need a reproducible test case to fix this.

Hello 

Sebastian & Jan -- Thanks for responding!

I am using firebug in an automated system and so I am using this file (attached) to open the browser. It has a 2 second delay to overcome this problem for the first window.

I have also attached a screenshot of the popup window showing that firebug did not catch the activity.

For now I have found a workaround using this extension - https://addons.mozilla.org/en-us/firefox/addon/leechblock/

But it will be so much better if I could delay the page load without the overhead of another extension.

Thanks

Does anyone know of a good solution to overcome this problem?
