    Bug 28885: notify users that update is downloading · 2dabd717
    Kathleen Brade authored and Matthew Finkel's avatar Matthew Finkel committed
    Add a "Downloading Tor Browser update" item which appears in the
    hamburger (app) menu while the update service is downloading a MAR
    file. Before this change, the browser did not indicate to the user
    that an update was in progress, which is especially confusing in
    Tor Browser because downloads often take some time. If the user
    clicks on the new menu item, the about dialog is opened to allow
    the user to see download progress.
    
    As part of this fix, the update service was changed to always show
    update-related messages in the hamburger menu, even if the update
    was started in the foreground via the about dialog or via the
    "Check for Tor Browser Update" toolbar menu item. This change is
    consistent with the Tor Browser goal of making sure users are
    informed about the update process.
