I would like to report this as a genuine defect, but first ask here.

Nowadays many applications use rather long GET/POST parameter names.
The current width of 25 is very conservative, especially because
all the screen estate next to it is wasted. I think it should be increased
to at least 64. Here's a screenshot :)

Params
a_very_long_but_quite_com... 1

Yeah, we might consider changing the default value.

For now, you can just change the following pref:
extensions.firebug.netParamNameLimit

See other prefs:
