Comment (by yawning):

 If I do this, I can probably have Tor Browser (well torbutton)'s onion
 menu "Check for Tor Browser Update..." actually do something as well, by
 having it poke the sandbox agent to schedule an update check instead of
 what it usually does (eg: If an env var is set, send "FETCHUPDATE\r\n"
 over the control port, which is the `sandboxed-tor-browser` surrogate).
