firefox developer tools compare to firebug / missing preview for ajax response

i know this question might get voted down and be closed but i have to put it out there

im windows user and i got familiar with firefox in the bad old days of IE reign i love firefox specially after i become a web developer and started to work with wonderful add-ons

but recent changes has made me to move to chrome more and more every day specifically i have to mention death of beloved firebug

i hate the firefox developer console , it feels awkward and clunky and primitive compare to firebug and its not as user friendly as firebug

i have to ask , is it me or anyone else feels the same ? cuz i've searched around and it doesn't seem to bother anyone else !

here is what bothers me the most .... modern web apps rely heavily on ajax calls , for some reason i cant find preview for ajax calls response in the firefox developer tools ... i can see server response as code but not rendered preview of server response

and i say i cant find it becuz i cant imagine possibility of not having preview .... just imagine your using a framework and it returns a stack error with lots of html/css style , its impossible to find the actual error among the heap of codes in developer tools response section

so aside from the rant , basically im hoping someone to say there is a preview and this is how you can activated it !

Unfortunately, the preview for responses got removed in Firefox 55, obviously under the incorrect assumption that it duplicated some other UI. Luckily it was added back for Firefox 59, now placed within the Response panel.

Here's a screenshot for how this looks like on this page: HTML response preview
