No Right click menu on Web developer console network tab?

Post by BodBod » 2015-12-20, 12:56

I have started to use Palemoon for testing my web pages but found out that the Network tab on the Web developer interface does not allow right clicks? I want to be able to cut and paste the url of a resource to see what server is serving the media. Firefox allows a right click on these network items and gives me 10 different options for each item, why is this not enabled in Palemoon?

Simply put: because the developer tools in Firefox have received a lot more attention.
Pale Moon is primarily a browser for general use; it doesn't aim to be a Swiss army knife for web development. You can get the request URL right-clicking the GET request from the console and selecting "Open URL in new tab" or "copy link location" to get the individual requests. The network section is mostly to get a quick overview of timings, not to actually interact with content or the requests.

However, patches to improve this part of the browser are of course always welcome :)
