Is Pale Moon able to log network requests from a new tab opened through another application?

Unread post by jez9999 » 2024-02-29, 00:44

I have an application in Windows which, when I click something, opens a URL in the registered default browser - Pale Moon, as I've set that as the default. However, they've set this page to redirect so the link opens in a new tab and immediately redirects to the new URL. Opening developer tools doesn't show me the original request for the first URL. Is there a way to get PM to show all network requests for a new tab opened from another application, including the very first one that was requested as soon as the tab was opened?

Open the Browser Toolbox. When you get a prompt from Pale Moon to allow the connection, click OK. You will now have a windowed developer tools, instead of one in the browser. Close the browser's normal windows, but not the Browser Toolbox window. Go to the network tab, then click your link.
