Oasis Welcome (not Firefox about:welcome)
First-run flow uses Oasis’s own welcome experience (chrome://browser/content/oasiswelcome/…) instead of Firefox’s multistage about:welcome.
What this is
Oasis replaces Firefox’s multistage about:welcome with a custom welcome experience that introduces Oasis features and gets you to the assistant faster.
How to use it
- On first launch, complete or skip the welcome pages as offered.
- Preferences such as
browser.oasis.welcome.*control whether the flow runs; defaults are set for Oasis. - After welcome, you normally land on a normal browsing surface with the assistant available.
Notes and limits
Skipping welcome does not skip software updates or security; it only skips the marketing/education screens.

Assistant themes
Multiple light and dark themes for the assistant chrome (not only system theme); choice syncs via prefs / bridge.
Busy / streaming state
Visual feedback while the model or tools are working (AssistantBusyBar, streaming into the timeline).
