I am not so sure about the "vastly more likely". I was considering the time
panel as a tool for optimizing for the network. User should have all the
meta-information such as query parameters, size, timing, headers under the tips
of his fingers. We should provide enough information so that he would not even
need to reach out for the content itself. Firebug is we me there.

Of course there are other scenarios such as navigating to the error source
(Oliver submitted a separate bug on that, no question it should be fixed). And
there is a scenario when you just browse resources and hence need their content
since you are just exploring. Or you want to see if some resource has been
updated (we should actually provide Cache info such as Firebug in that case).

What was your scenario, Oliver?

Wrt this bug. If we are making contents default, it makes sense to swap the
tabs.
