Comment (by yawning):

 Eventually, I want to make the menu item work instead of hiding it, but
 since the sandbox is bundle version aware, having to do something
 different on my end isn't a big deal.

 `TOR_HIDE_UPDATE_CHECK_UI` works for, and since other people want it (IIRC
 one of the patches in #20557 is to do something similar) that's probably
 better.


 I'm on vacation (TM) this week, so feel free to change it in a branch, if
 not I'll do it this weekend or something, and someone could probably also
 close #20083 in favor of this, if we're going the env var route
 (Help->About Tor Browser's button gets disabled if you use
 autoconfig.js/mozilla.cfg, so I'm less worried about that now).
