How to get HTTP request details of a redirection page in Firebug?

For example, a typical login page will send a POST request to the server. Then the response includes a Location header and redirects to a different URL.

And in Firebug, the original login post request will just have a flash in the Console panel. Then the request is removed and new requests of the new URL are listed in the panel.

Is there a way to keep the original POST request in the Firebug Console panel?

Redirects can be tracked by Firebug by clicking the Persist button within the Console or the Net panel toolbar.

You'll probably need to persistently enable Firebug to see the requests for the redirected page. To do so right-click the Firebug icon within your browser toolbar and choose On for All Web Pages from the opening menu.

On for All Web Pages option within the Firebug Start Button menu

When you've done that, clear the Console/Net panel and access the redirection page again.
