Hi The request you are receiving looks like one of the default ones that Firefox sends out. Are you using Firefox to proxy your traffic through Burp? Have you enabled "Intercept" and are trying to intercept the traffic to your web server? If so, you may need to click the "Forward" button until you reach your relevant request. Alternatively, you could use Burp's built-in browser instead of Firefox to proxy traffic. You can find this by going to "Proxy > Intercept > Open browser".
