Comment (by blockflare):

 > move "Check for Tor Browser Updates" from Torbutton to the Firefox menu

 It already - kind of - exists for the Tor Browser, go to Menu > Help Menu
 > About Tor Browser and it will automatically check for the update (same
 as with Firefox).

 > using a "update" icon will make this more visible

 It would be less visible in that case, people click on the onion icon (to
 change identity, change circuit, change security settings...) more than
 they do on the menu one.

 Moreover, the Tor Browser already has some mechanisms to make the user
 aware of the need to update.
