Comment:

 I think I agree with you that the Desktop is not the best place at least
 not nowadays anymore. I am not sure whether C:\Program Files is the one we
 should pick instead, though. I actually don't think so as we want to make
 it easy to remove the whole bundle by a user on the system without leaving
 any trace.

 That said we have a ticket for getting a decoupling from the user data
 directory and the application directory implemented: #18367. I'll
 duplicate yours over as we very likely need to find a better location for
 the directories when working on that bug anyway.

 For the Version drop down: this is used differently from team to team. The
 Tor Browser team does not use it, so this is fine and does not need a bug.
