To onboard an add-on, I'd like to be able to open the popup (from browserAction or pageAction, depending on the add-on). But I can't! I think it would be reasonable to treat the onInstall handler as a user input handler, so that browser.browserAction.openPopup() can be called. The ability to do conditional onboarding is desirable (as opposed to a setting like sidebarAction's open_at_install), so being able to open it programmatically would be nice.
