FB 3 identifies javascript differently

[Erik Krause]

Hello,

I found some discrepancy between FB 2 and FB 3 regarding filters in the
network panel.

If I select "Javascript" ("JS") in the toolbar of the network panel I
get 7 files with FB 2. With FB 3 it's only one, the others are under
"Other" and "HTML". Looking closer I saw that my server delivers JS
files as content type "text/plain" (and one as "text/html") while the JS
from browser-update.org is "application/x-javascript" (which would be
more correct I guess, but shouldn't it be "text/javascript").

You can see this behavior on http://www.leihinstrumente.de/

No idea whether this can be considered a bug...

That is because Firebug 2 checked more than just the content type while the Firefox DevTools and by that Firebug 3 only checks the content type to categorize the responses.

(which would be more correct I guess, but shouldn't it be "text/javascript").

No, the standardized content type is application/javascript, see the article on maxcdn.

Hard to say whether that should be considered as a bug, though you can file a bug on Bugzilla to discuss that. If you do so, please backlink it here, so people reading this can follow it.

Before, everything was much simple

But finding the files under a different filter is an indicator for the incorrect content type. So, it could be seen as a feature.
Anyway, it looks like Firebug is going away (it's turned into a skin for the Firefox DevTools). So, I took the time now to file it against the DevTools as bug 1280024.
