To enable this feature in other release channels, set the ```devtools.jsonview.enabled``` preference to ```true```. + +From Firefox 53 onwards, the JSON viewer is also enabled by default in Beta and the normal release version of Firefox. + + +Firefox includes a JSON viewer. If you open a JSON file in the browser, or view a remote URL with the Content-Type set to application/json, it is parsed and given syntax highlighting. Arrays and objects are shown collapsed, and you can expand them using the "+" icons. + +The JSON viewer provides a search box that you can use to filter the JSON. + +You can also view the raw JSON and pretty-print it. + +Finally, if the document was the result of a network request, the viewer displays the request and response headers. |
