There is not one demo site, but like 4 (bank, shop, mint (?), extension
+ landing page).  They are kept in different Gits (shop with merchant,
bank in bank.git, mint is mint, extension is in wallet, and Marcello can
probably say where the landing page is (IIRC wallet; we may want to move
it to marketing).

I've created a new category "Web sites".

That cannot be fixed. The link to the extension is a normal link. It
seems to me like Firefox "security" mechanisms prevent this from working
if you open the extension in a new tab. There is nothing we can do about
this.

Nope, just do open the link normally, not in a new tab. We cannot detect
(server-side) that you're putting the extension in a new tab, and the
fact that browsers refuse to install extensions if they come as
top-level for a page is most likely indented. Report to Mozilla if you
think this should work.
