Comment (by cypherpunks):

 > Mozilla moved the app.update.auto setting to a new JSON file that is
 designed to be shared across all Firefox profiles. Firefox also stores
 some update-related data (on Windows only) in a system location and we do
 not want either of these things.
 No. We want either of these things. Because it's "the right thing" (part
 of sandboxing). But `CommonAppData` should point to e.g. `C:\Tor
 Browser\Browser\TorBrowser\Data\Browser\Mozilla` instead of
 `C:\ProgramData\Mozilla`.
 > Please let me know if we need to create a new ticket for these
 Yes, please.
