    After updating my 8.0a9 browser to 8.0a10, on Linux, the browser still thinks that an update is available and will download and update again to 8.0a10.

    After setting app.update.log to true, I can see this in the logs:

    According to this line, it seems the browser still thinks it is version 8.0a9:

    AUS:SVC Checker:getUpdateURL - update URL: https://aus1.torproject.org/torbrowser/update_3/alpha/Linux_x86_64-gcc3/8.0a9/en-US

    However, the about:tor page correctly shows 8.0a10.
