**[Notes]:**
- We are suggesting this change because the current behavior might confuse the user.
They might think that the installation process has failed and the add-on was not installed.
**[Affected versions]:**
- Firefox Release, 117.0, BUILD ID: 20230824132758
**[Affected Platforms]:**
- Windows 10 x64
- Windows 11 x64
**[Prerequisites]:**
- Have the [“user.js”](https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1GpJWgkFe__ahc1BYsOXgGyV715CR6AbF?usp=sharing) saved to your computer.
**[Steps to reproduce]:**
1. Create a new Firefox profile using the `–first-startup` command but do not open it.
2. Navigate to the profile folder and paste the user.js files from prerequisites.
3. Open the browser using the previously created profile.
4. Navigate through the “about:welcome” screens until the “Addons Picker” one is displayed.
5. Press the “Add to Firefox” button from any of the extension cards.
6. Install the addon.
7. Observe the buttons label from the previously installed addon.
**[Expected results]:**
- The buttons label should be changed to reflect that the add-on is already installed.
**[Actual results]:**
- The button is still labeled as “Add to Firefox”.
**[Additional Notes]:**
- We have observed that the telemetry is not affected by this behavior and when the “Add to Firefox” button is clicked again the telemetry ping displayed is “update” and not “install”.
- Attached a screen recording of the current behavior.
