Should the Torbutton dialog from browser nav bar state (in effect), 
"Click here to update?"  Would it be better said, "Click to download the 
latest bundle / package?"
Indicating to many users, it will download & automatically install an 
update over the top of existing version, as regular Fx does?
True, that takes one to the bundle download page (vs. automatically 
starting an upgrade process), which may further confuse users.

Also, if a recent TorBrowser version exists, when the installer runs, if 
an installation path w/ a previous version present, should the 
installers really be saying,
"The destination directory already exists.  You can try ot upgrade Tor 
Browser, but if you run into any problems, use a new directory instead." ?

That clearly sends the msg that upgrading over the top can be done. If 
that should not ever be done under any circumstances, the installer 
probably shouldn't allow it.
For TorBrowser, the phrase "installed" is used, but it's not technically 
installed, according to Windows definition.
