Comment:

 Most people will have automatic updates set [1] so they will not see this
 prompt.
 The URL that the Details button points to is controlled by the
 torproject.org servers and our release process.

 In 5.0.*, the update response [2] sends people to a generic page:
   https://www.torproject.org/projects/torbrowser.html.en

 In 5.5* and going forward, the update response will point to the blog
 post, e.g.,:
   https://blog.torproject.org/blog/tor-browser-55a6-released

 I think this bug can be resolved as fixed (or as a duplicate of the bug
 where it was fixed, but I can't find that bug at the moment).

 [1] preferences: app.update.enabled=true, app.update.auto=true
