I think this means CERT_VERIFY_ERROR both for your incremental and
stable update files. Now, the interesting question is how this can
happen because I just tested both 7.5a10 and older Tor Browser versions
both 32bit and 64bit on a Windows 7 machine and all of them can update
without issue to 8.0a1 (both with an incremental and a full update). Hrm.
