Firebug: Inspect POST from webpage

Question

Can I use Firebug to inspect a post request sent by a webpage to a server and if so how?

I am refering inspecting a regular POST made using a form, but would also be interested in knowing how to inspect posts using javascript.

Thanks

Of course you can do that. The Net panel allows you to expand every request related to a website. For a POST done via AJAX you can set the XHR filter to see only those requests.

If you expand a request by clicking on it, you'll get all the information related to it.
