Hi Honza, What is the status of the "HAR Export Automation" with Firefox NetPanel?
I was looking at the bug https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1167080 and the conversation centered around the security of exposing JS calls to content. Without JS calls exposed to user, is there anyother way of exporting har? Is this feature getting into Firefox network panel? Will we be able to export the HAR via automation or only manual "save as har" is available? Please clarify. Thanks Senthil.
