Reimplement HTML response preview

[SebastianZ]

Like within the Network panel when selecting a request the Console panel should also offer a preview for HTML and XML documents as it was implemented in Firebug 2:

Note that the preview within the Network panel is currently broken for gzipped contents when e10s is enabled.

the preview panel is there, had been for quite some time, but it stopped working a couple of months ago. So I'm not entirely sure why this was labeled as an enhancement, rather than a bug.

Which version of Firebug do you refer to?

Firebug 2 has a working Preview tab for network requests, though this issue is for reimplementing the Preview tab. Also note that it is about adding it to requests listed within the _Console_ panel and not the Network panel. See the following screenshot for clarification:

I yes I see. I was referring to the preview tab in the network panel.
This has been working in firebug.next, should I raise a new issue for this?

This is a bug in Firefox 40.0 and 41.0 (Beta), which was filed against the DevTools in bug 1182083 and fixed for Firefox 42.0.

So the Preview tab within the Network panel is working fine for me using Firefox 43.0a1 (Nightly, 2015-08-18) + Firebug 3.0.0-alpha.13. See the following screenshot:

aha! excellent news!

I would say it would be worth to implement it as a platform feature.
