 Today morning I got greeted by the "TorBrowser update failed" dialog
 explaining me that the update failed and I should make sure I have the
 latest version installed pointing me to the download easy page. I wonder
 how this could have happened? I clicked sometimes on the update button to
 look at the log the days before. If that is the issue then I wonder what
 triggered the dialog today and not, say, yesterday.

 Apart from that one nit: the dialog was talking about the "TorBrowser"
 while the about:tor page in the background was talking about "Tor
 Browser". Not sure which one is better but it should be only one we use.
