How to Firebug XHR/AJAX requests

Rails
1

Saw a lot of recommendations for Firebug
(http://www.joehewitt.com/software/firebug/) on this list. I’ve scanned
its docs and tried it–many useful features. But I’m so dense that I
can’t get it to spy XHR/AJAX requests and their response on FC5 running
Firefox 1.5.0.4 and Firebug 0.4.

Can someone tell me how to get to

?

Thanks in advance!

Doug.

Go to “Options” > Make sure “Show XMLHttpRequests” is checked,

Then go to “Console”.

Thank you, Michael, for your hint. I made it sure “Show XMLHttpRequests”
was on by turning it off and back on and restarting Firefox. But, still
no XHR requests/responses (actually nothing) in the Console. What else
could I be missing?

on the bottom (status) bar of Firefox you should see a green circle w/ a
check in it. Click that, it should popup the window in the screenshoot
you
sent.
If you’re on the Console tab, all AJAX requests will be visible.
