What is the easiest way to obtain a complete log of all HTTP/HTTPS requests issued by Firefox during a browser session?

The question is programming related insofar that obtaining a log of all HTTP/HTTPS requests issued is a great troubleshooting tool when developing webapps.

+1  A: 

Firefox works with Fiddler.

Yes, Fiddler is great, but it does not work on Mac/Linux unfortunately. What I'm looking for is a cross-platform solution providing Fiddler functionality.

  • Wireshark is the most complete tool for logging all http activity
  • Fiddler tool might be easier to get started with, and comes with built in HTTPS-decryption
  • TamperData addon for Firebug is a very good addon for changing the requests ad hoc

One more: Live HTTP Headers.

A: 

LiveHttpHeaders is a great add-on for Firefox. It traces all the requests along with header information and post data. You can save the log to a file if you want to.

Safari has a built in Activity monitor - Window->Activity list all http requests I believe.
