Since Firefox 61 beta, the HAR export trigger is supported with only opening devtools but not choosing the netmonitor tab. That will potentially make collecting the HAR less CPU intensive since the netmonitor GUI is not needed to be updated. Let me deploy a new version and try that out, since adding a HAR for Firefox makes it easier to know what's going on.

The new version works, you can get the HAR without it and on AWS C4.large it makes pages render 50-100 ms faster in FF but the HAR that is created is missing content size field, so the HAR isn't following the HAR spec.

We have enabled it now, we still get unstable metrics and will setup a meeting with Mozilla about it.
