#2 is whatever code you need to execute once and only once. For instance, welcoming the user to your extension or basic instructions on how to use it. The way to determine if #2 executes is through #1... check for the existence of a custom preference. Its non-existence indicates your extension has never executed before. Its existence indicates your extension *has* executed before.
