Hi Senthill, the bug 1167080 is fixed and the patch landed in Firefox Nightly build There is also another patch (in Nightly) that allows manual export of Network panel data (as HAR).
So, there are two options now. 1) you can manually export HAR data from the Network panel using the panel’s context menu and “Copy all as HAR” (to the clipboard) or “Save all as HAR” (to a file) 2) you can also set a preference to export content of the panel automatically (after the page has been loaded) Enable automation: devtools.netmonitor.har.enableAutoExportToFil Include response bodies in the HAR File (can make it significantly bigger): devtools.netmonitor.har.includeResponseBodies There are no API exposed to the content (security issues), but standard Firefox extensions are able to access the existing platform (DevTools) API and trigger the export at any custom time. Let me know if you are interested in building such custom extension I can help you with that.
