 The new update download dialog in Tor Browser 4.0 looks like an operating
 system dialog that is making a network connection. Normally when one sees
 an operating system dialog making a network connection, whatever update or
 whatever is happening doesn't happen over Tor. With Tor Browser, that's
 not true, as the download does indeed take place over Tor. We should make
 this clear to our users to assuage doubt.
