this is what showcase does:
showWelcomeScreenIfNeeded: function() {
if (ShowcaseCache.prefs.getBoolPref("firstRunRedirection")) {
var currentVersion = ShowcaseCache.prefs.getCharPref
("currentVersion");
if (currentVersion != "0.9.4.6") {
ShowcaseCache.prefs.setCharPref("currentVersion", "0.9.4.6");
var targetURL;
if (currentVersion == "none") {
targetURL = "http://showcase.uworks.net/welcome.html";;
} else {
targetURL = "http://showcase.uworks.net/updated.html";;
}
var newTab = getBrowser().addTab(targetURL);
getBrowser().selectedTab = newTab;
}
}
},
