Firefox Dev tools: How to persist calls in network analysis

Since Firebug is outdated with a recent update of Firefox I'm trying to work with the Firefox dev tools. As far as I read these are supposed to replace Firebug.

However there is one option I used frequently in Firebug and haven't found yet in the Dev tools: The persist option in the network analysis. The persist option in Firebug

Since I work on a project that uses AJAX Calls to send data and then redirect to another page, I need to persist the calls to analyze them after the redirect. Otherwise the time is far to short to have a look at the data that was send with this call. (This project is for work so this architecture is nothing I could change).

Is there a way to persist the network calls in the Firefox Dev tools?

(I use Firefox 56.0.1 by the way)

On Firefox for Mac, in version 101.0.1, the "Persist Logs" option is now hidden behind the gear icon in the top right of dev tools box.

Open the Settings for the Developer Tools:

Developer Tools Settings Button

Then select "Enable persistent logs" under "Common Preferences."

Reference: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Tools/Settings

Starting from Firefox 57.0 the option got moved from the Settings to the Network panel:

"Persist logs" option in Network Monitor
