Description

This package has a [direct dependency on webextension-polyfill-ts](https://github.com/MetaMask/providers/blob/0c0eb500c76e7c03c7e9c9133ec2eaa311000cf0/package.json#L55) and one indirectly through [extension-port-stream](https://github.com/MetaMask/extension-port-stream/blob/374bbf63df9194244d6da5879b423a88bd4809f7/package.json#L34) which is also a MetaMask project.

That package has been [deprecated](https://www.npmjs.com/package/webextension-polyfill-ts) and moved to [@types/webextension-polyfill](https://www.npmjs.com/package/@types/webextension-polyfill). MetaMask's dependencies should be updated too.

Research direction

Start with the package.json dependency entry linked in the issue, then inspect extension-port-stream's package.json to confirm the transitive dependency path. Done means the deprecated webextension-polyfill-ts dependency is replaced with @types/webextension-polyfill where this project controls it, with dependency installation and the existing test suite still passing.
