Solution

  • As of Firefox 104.0, the global request search in the Network Monitor that lets you search for arbitrary information within all requests also searches within responses. This search can be toggled by clicking the magnifying glass button within its toolbar.

    Request search in the Network Monitor

    Besides that feature, you can also open the request within a new tab by right-clicking it and choosing Open in New Tab. When the request is displayed in the new tab, open the source view (e.g. by pressing Ctrl+U or via the page's context menu > View Page Source). Within the source view, you can then search like you normally search within a page, i.e. by pressing Ctrl+F, for example.
