For curl:
      I still think reading options from a file is safer:
         curl -K curl-options.txt

For Firefox:
      I think most users will want to modify the curl
      command, but invoking curl directly from Firefox
      doesn't allow that.

      Replacing "Copy as cURL" with "Save as cURL"
      without any added escape characters would help.

      Also adding "Save as HAR" without the "all"
      would be useful.
