# WebExtensions notes

## High
* DON'T FORGET THUNDERBIRD
* Test the WebExtension. Especially on release Firefox. Publish for prelim review/signing.
* Show message to Firefox users about switching to new extension. Probably open options tab with huge message at top.
* Decide on whether to keep using AMO.


## Steps (after work done)
1. Release WebExtension. Get it signed (happens immediately?). Maybe get it preliminarily reviewed.
2. Release XUL update. Point Firefox users at WebExtension.

## Better steps

This results in a cleaner migration for existing Firefox users.

1. Release webext version with new ID.

2. Modify old version to detect if it's running on Firefox, prompt the user to install the new extension and uninstall the old extension.
```
AddonManager.getInstallForURL('https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/downloads/latest/markdown-here/addon-375281-latest.xpi', function(install) {console.log(arguments); install.install()}, 'application/x-xpinstall');
AddonManager.getAddonByID('[email protected]', function(install) {console.log(arguments); install.uninstall()});
```

3. Coordinate with AMO reviewers to allow the install/uninstall action. (Via IRC?)
