Users are not interested in the process id. This should be one of the last rows.

We currently show, in this order:
1. process id (or thread id);
2. process name and type;
3. resident memory;
4. virtual memory;
5. CPU use (user space);
6. CPU use (kernel space);
7. Number of threads.

We should reorder (and skip):

1. process name and type (which is what our users are most interested in);
2. resident memory;
3. total CPU use (user + kernel)
4. process id (or thread id);
5. number of threads.

This should make it easier for users to read the table.

The code is in [aboutProcesses.html](https://searchfox.org/mozilla-central/source/toolkit/components/aboutprocesses/content/aboutProcesses.html), [aboutProcesses.js](https://searchfox.org/mozilla-central/source/toolkit/components/aboutprocesses/content/aboutProcesses.js) and [aboutProcesses.css](https://searchfox.org/mozilla-central/source/toolkit/components/aboutprocesses/content/aboutProcesses.css).

In `about:processes`, we currently show, in this order:
1. process id (or thread id);
2. process name and type;
3. resident memory;
4. virtual memory;
5. CPU use (user space);
6. CPU use (kernel space);
7. Number of threads.

We should reorder (skipping a few columns):

1. process name and type (which is what our users are most interested in);
2. resident memory;
3. total CPU use (user + kernel)
4. process id (or thread id);
5. number of threads.

This should make it easier for users to read the table.

The code is in [aboutProcesses.html](https://searchfox.org/mozilla-central/source/toolkit/components/aboutprocesses/content/aboutProcesses.html), [aboutProcesses.js](https://searchfox.org/mozilla-central/source/toolkit/components/aboutprocesses/content/aboutProcesses.js) and [aboutProcesses.css](https://searchfox.org/mozilla-central/source/toolkit/components/aboutprocesses/content/aboutProcesses.css).
