 An important improvement that was discussed in #25694 is to let users know
 when an update is in the process of being downloaded. Firefox does not
 show this information in an obvious way; users need to open
 about:preferences and look in the Updates section or open the about box.
 Tor Browser users are sometimes confused because they know an update is
 available but have no easy way to know if it is being downloaded, and
 downloading the MAR files can take a while over Tor.

 We plan to add a new "Downloading Tor Browser update..." message that will
 be displayed in the hamburger menu. We will also ensure that the standard
 "update" icon is displayed on the hamburger menu toolbar icon so users
 know to look inside for more info.
