+
+This documentation covers the implementation of WebExtensions inside Firefox.
+Documentation about existing WebExtension APIs and how to use them
+to develop WebExtensions is available
+`on MDN <https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/Add-ons/WebExtensions>`_.

+To use this documentation, you should already be familiar with
+WebExtensions, including
+`the anatomy of a WebExtension <https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/Add-ons/WebExtensions/Anatomy_of_a_WebExtension>`_
+and `permissions <https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/Add-ons/WebExtensions/manifest.json/permissions>`_.
+You should also be familiar with concepts from
