Description

To reproduce:
1. Go to website I want to debug / profile
2. Open F12 dev tools, click Performance tab, start and finish recording
4. The recording is opened on profiler.firefox.com
5. "Full Range" is selected and not the tab I want to profile from step 1

This had left me a bit confused, because there is a break: Dev tools are opened for a specific page, yet the profiler.firefox.com Recordings page selects something else. It's also not what I'm used from the profiler previously and in other browsers (I must admit, haven't used the Firefox profiler in a while). It's also a bit tedious trial and error to find the correct recording somtimes, because the Recordings dropdown only shows hostnames, not the tab titles.

Is it possible to open the current tab's recording by default?
