Handle Orphaned Data Stream Issue Awaiting MetaMask Fix

[teslashibe]

Description

We are experiencing an issue with orphaned data streams when interacting with MetaMask, specifically the "publicConfig" stream. This issue is causing unexpected behavior in our extension's popup. The problem has been identified and logged in the MetaMask extension provider's repository under issue #13.

Observed Behavior

The following error is observed in the console when the popup attempts to communicate with MetaMask:

ObjectMultiplex - orphaned data for stream "publicConfig"
Context: popup.html
Stack Trace:
popup.js:2 (write)
popup.js:2 (C)
popup.js:2 (anonymous function)
popup.js:2 (A.write)
popup.js:2 (d)
popup.js:2 (o.emit)
popup.js:2 (x)
popup.js:2 (C)
popup.js:2 (A.push)
popup.js:2 (_onMessage)
popup.js:2 (anonymous function)

Expected Behavior

The extension should handle the MetaMask provider's streams without encountering orphaned data errors, ensuring a smooth and error-free interaction between the popup and MetaMask.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Open the extension popup.
2. Initiate any action that requires communication with MetaMask.
3. Observe the console for the aforementioned error.

Acceptance Criteria

• Monitor the progress of the MetaMask issue #13 for updates and potential fixes.
• Once a fix is released, verify that the issue is resolved by testing the same steps that previously resulted in the error.
• Implement any necessary changes to our extension's codebase to adapt to the fix provided by MetaMask.
• Ensure that all interactions with MetaMask in the popup are functioning correctly without any orphaned data stream errors.

Additional Notes

• This issue is currently blocking certain features that rely on MetaMask interaction within the popup.
• A temporary workaround may be necessary if the MetaMask fix is not released in a timely manner.
