Bam! Usability would be arguably improved. Example: search for a file in the debugger. Then on a line somewhere in the source editor. Nothing happens. Why? Because the click event is consumed. Another example: add a conditional breakpoint, then interact with the content in order to cause that breakpoint to get hit. Again, nothing happens. This might make sense for the downloads panel, for instance, because accidental interactions with the content whilst trying to hide to panel need to be avoided; however, in the case of the debugger, frankly it's "in the way". https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/XUL/Attribute/consumeoutsideclicks
Tests still pass.
