Actual results:

WebExtensions are currently not able to intercept and modify/block/redirect requests made by other WebExtensions. Please allow WebExtensions to be able to do this.

For example it is useful for when a user wants to have the ability to view requests that is made by a certain extension and to block it using an extension like uBlock Origin or to redirect it to another resource.

Even if this is to be implemented and hidden behind a about:config value that specifies which extensions have this ability it would still be useful.
