HttpFox is a powerful Firefox add-on designed to monitor HTTP traffic directly from your web browser. This tool allows you to effortlessly analyze and control all incoming and outgoing requests without the need for additional software. With HttpFox, you can easily view data transfers and URLs associated with each request. The add-on categorizes traffic by protocol, including HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, and displays headers, cookies, calls, POST parameters, and content. For added convenience, you can configure HttpFox to launch automatically in a new tab when Firefox starts, enabling seamless traffic monitoring as if it were a standalone application.
Mixed feelings about HttpFox. I love how it captures requests, but I’ve run into some bugs that slow me down. It’s useful, but there’s definitely room for improvement!
