Feature: extension popup to open local instance of the Discovery.js tool even if jsonview enabled #94

Thanks for this useful tool

I think there is a usecase for the extension to have a popup browser action (i.e. icon button in the addons menu in Firefox) that when clicked, opens a new tab of a local instance of the Discovery.js tool (same tool at https://discoveryjs.github.io/discovery/).

This would make the extension useful even for users that still have the Firefox default browser jsonview enabled, for whatever reason. This way users can run the tool to upload and inspect json files without requiring the network resource at https://discoveryjs.github.io/discovery/

Hey @wesinator, thank you for the request. It is really good idea and I think we'll implement it in one of the upcoming releases 👍
