Comment (by yawning):

 Replying to [comment:4 cypherpunks]:
 > Ask TBB Team for that ;)  (as EFF special updating sucks the same way
 nowadays)

 I did.  Among other things that Tor Browser should be doing, some dating
 back years.

 Ultimately it's up to the Tor Browser people to change how addons are
 built, packaged, and shipped at this point.  The sandbox doesn't auto
 update addons individually, and if people try to manually update them, it
 won't actually work regardless of what the UI says.

 I'm not going to take further action here till the upstream situation
 changes.
