In which you could insert some information (link to GitHub, and FAQ)

What would be needed in the manifest.json? (Perhaps link to an extension where you observed the behaviour, so I could take a look).

I don't think that there is a permission for that but we should implement something.

I wouldn't know how to know when to trigger the opening of a new page as welcome screen. I think, I've saw it somewhere, but can't recall the add-on off-hand.

The way to do it is to check if there are any settings, if it is missing means that is a new installation.

There is an API now https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/Add-ons/WebExtensions/API/runtime/onInstalled

I was thinking to add also a text about some tools like telegram or whatsapp that open the client installed in the machine as alert in that page.

we can redirect user to a welcome webpage when someone installs our add on?
