A really nice tool. I have been a LiveHttpHeaders user for a long time but this extension really organizes the information much better. It gives you a nice overview of all HTTP requests being made and you can select one for closer inspection - headers, cookies, POST data, response text, whatever you like. Some issues, nothing major:

* Logging should really start automatically when the HttpFox panel is opened first time (issue 38)
* The value in Received column makes very little sense (issue 21)
* There is no keyboard shortcut to open HttpFox panel (issue 29)
* Response text comes from browser cache, this isn't the most reliable way of getting it (issue 6)

I would also very much like it if it could somehow display headers in Page Info dialog, that's the only reason I keep LiveHttpHeaders installed (I realize that LiveHttpHeaders has to watch requests in background constantly for that). But I must say, this extension is very good already.
