 Contrary to what we see with updating a stable version, if I update an
 alpha release based on esr68 to our latest alpha release (assuming I am
 actually using an older version in the first place, like 9.0a7) then the
 process of downloading the update is accompanied with a red dot on the
 hamburger menu which seems unnecessarily scary, compared to the green
 arrow we show in the stable series.

 Looking closer at what is happening by opening the hamburger menu during
 that process indicates that maybe an icon is actually missing here as
 there is no red dot shown in the menu itself, just no icon at all after
 the message that the update gets downloaded. Once that is done the green
 arrow icon shows up for a restart, both on the hamburger menu as within
 it, as we can see with our esr60-based stable updates.

 That's visible on different Linux systems at least.
