This is about updating the copy in the post-install prompt to account for data collection permissions. We'll also add a link to the extension settings.

Verified as Fixed. Tested on the latest Nightly (140.0a1/20250507164202) under Windows 11 and Ubuntu 24.04 LTS.

The post install dialog contains the following elements:

  • the “[extension_name] was added.” string at the top of the dialog
  • the “Update permissions and data preferences any time in the <extensions settings link>.” string
  • the “OK” button

Clicking the extensions settings link in the dialog will:

  • open a tab with about:addons on the detailed view of the extension, if about:addons is not open in a tab
  • switch to the tab with about:addons and navigate to the detailed view of the extension, if about:addons is opened but focus is on another page from about:addons

See attached screenshot for more details.
