When Firefox loads a webpage, the bottom-left of the screen briefly displays connection information. For example:

Waiting for pubads.g.doubleclick.net Transferring data from insight.adsrvr.org… Performing a TLS handshake to bttrack.com…

I would like to be able to log these or otherwise intercept them for information purposes.

  • Welcome. I don't think you can. You could try using the INSPECTOR while the page loads, but...

  • I'm voting to close this question as off-topic because it's about using a web browser not about using a web application as it's defined on help center. This question could be on topic on Super User.

Just press F12 to open Firefox' Developer Tools. Click on the Network ribbon to investigate all requests and responses of the current tab:

There is also an option to save the results as an HAR file for later:

Im-/Export results as HAR

That is the method, somehow I didn’t properly explore what was right in front of me.

It is a new day.

From a new Tab in Firefox, from the Menu Bar select: Tools Web Developer Network

At the bottom of your browser window, a split window appears. Select a website from your bookmarks bar. A lot of connections fill the table data area They cram a lot of stuff into this space.

At this point the question becomes, how do we save this table data into a database which affords us more flexibility in viewing and analyzing the information.

But that’s for another day.
