How to add a homepage link in my about firefox addon

I would like the user to be able to view a hyperlink to my website when he clicks on my addon from tools , addon. So how would i exactly add a hyperlink to my site. I am using firefox addon sdk.enter image description here

Edit:

I realized the icon could be changed with icon:"name.png" in packages.json. But is there a similar way to change the homepage URL.

Solution

  • Update your package.json by adding a homepage property like this:

    {
"name": "myaddons", 
"license": "MPL 2.0", 
"author": "", 
"version": "0.1", 
"fullName": "myaddons", 
"id": "jid1-TGV1ZHqyB9PkVg", 
"description": "a basic add-on",
"homepage": "http://examples.com",
"icon": "chrome://myext/skin/icon.png"
}

    and then run cfx xpi.

    These values are used by install.rdf.
