What I want is to input the exact URL, for instance, Facebook, so that now the session list will show all the URL requests or traffic that occur while the Facebook tab is currently open . Right now, I'm only getting traffic from my Firefox browser, but I want the traffic from a specific tab within Firefox, and I want all the URL traffic that occurs in that tab.
For example, if I want to capture the traffic from Facebook, I don't want to filter and have it display only URLs related to Facebook because I feel that will just show traffic for URLs like facebook.com . There are other URLs on Facebook that don't contain the word "Facebook" at all. So, I want it to retrieve and capture all the traffic from the Facebook tab.
I filtered to show only if the URL contains, as you can see in the image, but no URLs from Facebook are being listed when I refresh the tab that's currently on the Facebook URL.

Hey Kyle,
Fiddler cannot differentiate between browser tabs because the Process ID identifies the entire browser process rather than a specific tab. However, you can still distinguish between requests by examining the available data in the HTTP requests. For instance, by using FiddlerScript, you can combine multiple conditions, such as checking the URL and data from HTTP headers, cookies, etc.
Regarding the screenshot filter - remove the protocol part (https://) and use only a partial (for example, use "facebook.com") and you should get a hit. Note that you can also use regular expressions to create more complex filter.

Hey Kyle,
I've just provided some additional suggestions in the duplicate thread that you have posted:

We are closing this one as we should discuss the case in a single thread instead of having multiple identical posts.
