Comment:

 Replying to [comment:5 cypherpunks]:
 > It's not Tor Browser Sandbox specific. Old alphas upgrade themselves the
 same way. Torbutton could warn users at startup, but it's broken the same
 way: https://www.torproject.org/projects/torbrowser/RecommendedTBBVersions

 Huh?  `RecommendedTBBVersions` has nothing to do with the sandbox, and
 `downloads.json` has nothing to do with the normal Tor Browser update
 process.

 Anyway this is basically "fixed" now (thanks bolkm).  Both git master (and
 the next sandbox tag, whenever I get around to it) will pull from
 `update_3` in the future, and there isn't much I can do about "the
 location where all the metadata lives changed" now that I think about it.
