Description
It would be cool to use the [Devtools API](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/Add-ons/WebExtensions/Extending_the_developer_tools) to create a provider-request inspector, to help dapp devs debug what requests are going from their site through MetaMask.

Research direction
Start by reading the linked MDN Devtools API documentation and identify how a provider-request inspector could observe requests from a dapp through MetaMask. The payload names no repository files or tests, so first locate the extension's developer-tools entry points. Done means a usable inspector exposes those provider requests for dapp developers to debug.
