I am new to Fiddler. On my PC, the Fiddler can capture web request sent from IE, but not Firefox. Is there any settings I should look at?
I turn on All Processes, and Capturing, but it still does NOT capture reqest from Firefox.
Because Firefox uses its own proxy settings, if Fiddler is started after Firefox is started, Firefox does not use Fiddler. This extension works around that: Once Fiddler is started you press the button in the toolbar and Firefox will then use Fiddler.
It seems to be due to a proxy setting, where for the loopback address no proxy is being used, which makes Fiddler unable to inspect the traffic. I've temporarily solved this by only requesting from 127.0. 0.1, or changing my hosts file to use another alias other than "localhost".
Simply export Fiddler's root certificate to the desktop as described above. Then, inside Firefox, click Tools > Monitor with Fiddler > Trust FiddlerRoot certificate. This will automatically import the Fiddler root certificate. Simply check the Trust this CA to identify websites box when prompted, then click OK.
In Fiddler, go to Tools > Fiddler Options > HTTPS. Select Capture HTTPS CONNECTs and Decrypt HTTPS traffic. Go to File > Capture Traffic or press F12 to turn off capturing.
You can also get the FiddlerHook plugin for Firefox that lets you handle how you want traffic to be routed through Fiddler
I experienced a similar issue... have a read of Teleriks blog Configuring Firefox for Fiddler
For me the solution was to set FireFox to use "Use system proxy settings"
I had same problem.
For solve it I simply change Firefox setting to Use system settings of proxy
.
I hope, this will be enough for correct Fiddler work.
UPDATE
As @Ed Birm has clarified you can find it here:
Options
>Advanced
>Network
tab >Settings
button in Connection > SelectUse system proxy settings
>OK
Or type in URL about:preferences#advanced
and then find Network
tab > Settings
in Connection > and select Use system proxy settings
and OK
.
UPDATE 2
For newer versions of Firefox go to:
Options
>General
>Network Proxy
>Setting
button >Use system proxy settings
>OK
