Is it possible to see the DNS resolving query in Firefox developer tools?

Is there's a possibility to also see similar request logging for DNS resolution?

Not using the developer tools.

However, see later in this answer for instructions on how to enable HTTP logging (which includes DNS query logging).

The only information you can get from the developer tools is the "Time taken to resolve a host name." which is in the "Timings" tab.

Timings

The Timings tab breaks a network request down into the following subset of the stages defined in the HTTP Archive specification:

Name              Description
DNS resolution    Time taken to resolve a host name.
Connecting        Time taken to create a TCP connection.
Sending           Time taken to send the HTTP request to the server.
Waiting           Waiting for a response from the server.
Receiving         Time taken to read the entire response from the server (or cache).

It presents a more detailed, annotated, view of the timeline bar for that request showing how the total wait time is split into the various stages:

How can I log DNS requests?

Solution 1:

Enable HTTP Logging in Firefox. The key bit that enables DNS logging is nsHostResolver:5:

Logging HTTP activity

Windows commands to begin HTTP logging (32-bit Windows):

cd c:\
set NSPR_LOG_MODULES=timestamp,nsHttp:5,nsSocketTransport:5,nsStreamPump:5,nsHostResolver:5
set NSPR_LOG_FILE=%TEMP%\log.txt
cd "Program Files\Mozilla Firefox"
.\firefox.exe

Windows commands to begin HTTP logging (64-bit Windows):

cd c:\
set NSPR_LOG_MODULES=timestamp,nsHttp:5,nsSocketTransport:5,nsStreamPump:5,nsHostResolver:5
set NSPR_LOG_FILE=%TEMP%\log.txt
cd "Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox"
.\firefox.exe

Source HTTP Logging

Solution 2:

Use DNSQuerySniffer from NirSoft:

DNSQuerySniffer is a network sniffer utility that shows the DNS queries sent on your system.

For every DNS query, the following information is displayed: Host Name, Port Number, Query ID, Request Type (A, AAAA, NS, MX, and so on), Request Time, Response Time, Duration, Response Code, Number of records, and the content of the returned DNS records.

You can easily export the DNS queries information to csv/tab-delimited/xml/html file, or copy the DNS queries to the clipboard, and then paste them into Excel or other spreadsheet application.
