Comment (by antonela):

 Replying to [comment:4 arma]:
 > 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.

 I like this suggestion. The use flow will be:

 - Tor Browser has a pending update.
 - User dismisses the update prompt.
 - Tor Browser gets closed.
 - Tor Browser gets updated next time is up again.

 mcs, is something doable?
