Comment (by yawning):

 https://git.schwanenlied.me/yawning/sandboxed-tor-browser/src/bug20778

 Is the work in progress branch with a working background update check and
 #20851 fixed.  It is not merged because it is lacking any sort of UI at
 all, except for "it dumps information to the log", and also does not
 handle downloading the MAR in the background yet.

 If I can't figure out a good UI for all this, I might just opt for
 "display a dialog box if the browser is out of date" instead of "download
 the MAR in the background/integrate into the onion menu".
