Description

This PR fixes the flaky test Request Queuing for Multiple Dapps and Txs on different networks. should switch to the dapps network automatically when handling sendTransaction calls.

• Circle ci failure: https://app.circleci.com/pipelines/github/MetaMask/metamask-extension/82995/workflows/51b18b16-f786-4ee8-96d0-9c751af6fa17/jobs/2965502/tests

The test fails at the point of trying to find the unapproved transaction, in the transaction list. The problem is that in the test, we are doing a browser refresh in order for the transaction to show up, but there is a race condition that, if you do a refresh once the unapproved tx is already present, you are redirected to the confirmation screen. This causes that the transaction cannot be found in the activity list and the test fails.

The solution is to change the approach for a more robust one, and instead of doing a browser refresh, we simply go explicitly to the activity tab and wait until the transaction appears.

Circle ci Screenshot: it's looking for the unapproved-transaction but it cannot find it because after reloading MetaMask, the screen is redirected to the unapproved transaction.

Manual testing steps

1. Check ci jobs
2. Run test multiple times yarn test:e2e:single test/e2e/tests/request-queuing/multiple-networks-dapps-txs.spec.js --browser=firefox --leave-running --retryUntilFailure --retries=10ng/multiple-networks-dapps-txs

Screenshots/Recordings

Behavior when you reload the browser with the unapproved transaction already present --> see how you are redirected to the confirmation page

Solution: no browser refresh but instead, going to the activity tab and wait until tx appears (see last seconds on the video)

• we don't reload the browser anymore, and instead go to the activity tab explicitly
• we already switched to the Extension window (see line146 above), so we can remove this step
