Hello.
We are developing a plugin (WEBSKAN).
 
At the installation of the plugin, we would like to ask the user to allow us to add the plugin page in the stratpages of the browser.
 
If the user says “Yes”, we would like to be able to add programmatically (API , Script, …) the URL of the plugin to the startpages of the browser.
 
Thanks for your help.

I'm not sure what "startup_pages" is meant to do, I'm not familiar with that term. We allow override of the newtab and the home page. The ability to alter the chrome_url_overrides and chrome_settings_overrides with some clear limitations is discussed in bug 1368700, so I'm going to dupe to that.
