Update Updater UX to support System Installs on Windows
Mullvad Browser installed to %PROGRAMFILES%
would need elevation to perform incremental updates. We have a few options here:
- Update the UX to notify users of when an update is available
😞 - this pathway is kind of needed for various Linux packages (flatpak, deb, rbm, etc)
- Enable the update pathway the default Firefox uses to get around this problem
- Probably involves running some system service which can with elevated privileges; Mullvad Browser doesn't care about disk leaks like Tor Browser does, so maybe this is fine
- Somehow hand waving enable the browser to self-elevate and update
