how do i search for specific text in firefox devtools -> network -> response ? when i do ctrl+F nothing happens, and when i right-click, search isn't one of the options..
by comparison it's easy in Chrome devtools, just pressing ctrl+F brings up a search menu..
As of Firefox 97.0, there is no direct option to search within the response. So I've created a feature request for that now.
The workarounds you currently have are
the global request search
The Network Monitor provides a feature that lets you search for arbitrary information within all requests. This search can be toggled by clicking the magnifying glass button within its toolbar.
opening the request in a new tab
You can open the request within a new tab by right-clicking it and choosing Open in New Tab. When the request is displayed in the new tab, open the source view (e.g. by pressing Ctrl+U or via the page's context menu > View Page Source). Within the source view, you can then search like you normally search within a page, i.e. by pressing Ctrl+F, for example.
