Affected versions

  • 71.0a1 (2019-09-29)

Affected platforms

  • all available;

Steps to reproduce
devtools.netmonitor.features.requestBlocking set on true

  1. Launch Firefox, access any webpage, open the DevTools inspector - Network tab;
  2. Enable the Request blocking panel;
  3. Input any text in the "Block resource when URL contains" text-box;
  4. Click away so the box is out of focus;

Expected result / Enchancement suggestion

  • as per the Filter URLs and Search filtering boxes the Clear option would't hurt to be displayed in this one as well;
  • only way right now is to "cancel" the text is the Escape key;

Actual result

  • the user might loose track of the text-path input if clicking away and resuming work after a while;

Regression range

  • not a regression, only visible after implementation of bug 1580728;

Additional notes

  • attached screenshot with the issue;

Usually we have clear buttons on search inputs only. Have you found more cases of clear inputs on other types?

None that I can think of right now.
Indeed, this would probably make it confusing at some point.

Okay so, sounds like we can close this one.
Thanks for the report anyway!
