Details

Scenario
--------

Press Ctrl+Shift+C

Actual results
--------------

Devtools / Inspector tab opens.

Expected results
----------------

Devtools / Inspector tab opens, **in "Pick element with mouse" mode**.

-> To get into the desired mode where I can pick DOM elements with the mouse, I have to reach for the tiny "Pick an element from the page" button at the left of the devtools toolbar.

Is this a desired UX change? That would feel weird, because:
- It's been this way for ages (since Firebug), and behaves the same in Chrome.
- More importantly, going directly in "Pick element with mouse" mode is super direct and convenient.

Environment
-----------

Firefox Developer Edition 46.0a2 (2016-02-16)
Fresh new profile
Ubuntu 14.04.3 x86_64
