Comment (by arma):

 Replying to [comment:2 mcs]:
 > For Tor Browser, we may want to communicate more loudly than Firefox
 does about the fact that an update is pending and that a restart is
 needed.

 This ticket is about a slightly different idea: when Tor Browser first
 starts, and it knows that it needs an update (e.g. because there's an
 update already pending), there is no need to try to bug the user into
 restarting. Just do it for the user right then, as part of (from the
 user's perspective) the "starting up" process.
