It would be good to prompt the user to look at a changelog after a major update. This is also an opportunity to improve the changelog - including relevant screenshots, for example.

Perhaps highlighting the settings button in the toolbar popup, and showing the latest changelog in the setting view.

Prime example is making a significant change, such as introducing permissions to Firefox which happened in the latest release. Or changing the way an integration works.

It's an extra opportunity to:

  • Educate users about changes that directly affect their usage of the extension
  • increase engagement with new features we add
  • Perhaps avoid the need to contact support if something significant changes and causes friction
