Add mechanism for unobtrusively telling users about add-on updates #17

Closed mikeconley closed 5 years ago

Now that real people are actually using it, and relying on it for work, I want to make sure MyQOnly updates are as non-disruptive as possible.

So, as a policy, I aim to:

  1. Not spam users by opening a new tab automatically with changelists after updates
  2. Make it possible for the add-on to alert users that there have been changes that they might want to do something about, but maybe only if their review queue is empty, and only unobtrusively. My current idea is to show a non-red "*" as a badge iff there are no reviews to do. When in that updated state, the panel should show a link to let the user open up a new tab talking about recent changes.
  3. If switching mechanisms so that a user needs to go back into about:addons to reconfigure MyQOnly, support the old configuration for at least a few weeks to give people time to migrate over
