GET body is ignored with Firefox extension

[AndrewBastin]

I am pretty sure we had a similar discussion on the main repo. See: hoppscotch/hoppscotch#1065

I am not closing this issue though for now.

Also since the extension is still restricted by the browser I am curious if there is any way we can actually feasibly implement this.

@AndrewBastin I think it's reasonable to not support it since it technically isn't even a proper use of the GET spec. And in case it simply isn't feasible to implement this functionality with axios, a better solution might be to notify the end-user that the Body payload isn't supported for GET requests when not using the proxy. Just throwing out ideas of course, but perhaps a pop-up message showing a warning if the user tries to do it anyways? Although I can see this might be more relevant for the main repo.

Yeah I think a sort of warning is warranted. We are kinda toying with a general "request inspection" system internally where we check the request live for any weird non-standard behaviour that may or may not be supported by Hoppscotch (like here).
