Description
If you have binary data in your session both Firefox and Chrome extensions show it as 'null' in the Request section. I don't expect it to be actually displayed, but it would be nice to see something like '<Binary Data (Length 64)>' or similar instead as 'null' is quite misleading.

Research direction
Start by tracing how session data is serialized and rendered in the Firefox and Chrome extensions' Request section, then reproduce the issue with binary session data. Done means binary values no longer appear as "null" and instead show a clear placeholder that includes their length, such as "<Binary Data (Length 64)>".
