Comment(by mcs):

 As part of #6156, brade and I added a time-based check.  For this issue,
 do we want a separate XUL window that pops up when a new TBB version is
 available?  That will be disruptive to the end-user, but hard to ignore.
 Another option might be to place a notification along the top of the
 active window/tab.
