Comment (by mcs):

 Replying to [comment:21 gk]:
 > Okay. I tested a bit. If anybody could test the intended use-case (i.e.
 updating while not applying MAR files manually) that would be neat as I
 don't have such a setup handy at the moment.

 Kathy and I have tested that case with the browser patches but not boklm's
 update_responses changes.

 > I was a bit surprised to see nothing happen after applying the update
 manually actually. I thought it would at least try to load
 https://blog.torproject.org/category/tags/tor-browser in a new tab, no?
 Instead the normal about:tor page was loaded. The "Update was successfully
 installed" was missing, though, as expected.

 Hmm.  I think the default page should have been opened.  I am not sure how
 you tested things, but Kathy and I can do some more testing early next
 week.
