 > Thanks for working on this.  The revised patch looks good (and brade and
 I tested it a little).

 > One thing we will need to keep in mind:  the update service (in the
 browser) only has support for one "detailsURL".  That means that a 4.0.x
 user who is running Mac OS 10.8 or newer will also be pointed to the same
 detailsURL as one who is running 10.6 (https://www.torproject.org/TODO-
 mac-manual-upgrade-info)

 Why? I thought `minSupportedOSVersion` solves this problem for us in a way
 that only users with OSX < 10.8 AND a 32 bit Tor Browser get to see the
 URL?

 That said I think I like the idea for the alpha to just point to an anchor
 tag on the blog post explaining the issue and containing
 instructions/links for users affected by this problem. Meanwhile we can
 think about solving this problem as good as we can for the stable upgrade.
