Comment:

 Resolving as wontfix. In #26960, the update warning was removed from
 about:tor. In #25694, we made some improvements to Firefox's update UX.
 Tor Browser also displays a doorhanger on the app menu much sooner than
 Firefox does when an update is available.

 Replying to [comment:3 mcs]:
 > Updates are automatic, although it takes a while to download the update
 MAR file in the background because the download is throttled.
 Because of this throttling or of #20392 TBB downloads MAR 10 times with 60
 sec interval and only then shows the update.

Comment (by mcs):

 Updates are automatic, although it takes a while to download the update
 MAR file in the background because the download is throttled.
 Interestingly enough, for Firefox 52 Mozilla is removing the throttling
 entirely:
   https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1309668
 I do not know if doing this would be a good idea for the TPO
 infrastructure and the Tor network, but we could increase the download
 rate some. Currently, when an update is happening without the user's
 knowledge (in the background), only 300,000 bytes are downloaded once per
 minute.

Comment (by arthuredelstein):

 I think this is a good suggestion. It also raises the question of what is
 the best UX for updates. Right now we have the about:tor arrow, the "Check
 for Updates" menu, and also if the user choose "About Tor Browser", the
 update happens.

 Other approaches might be:
 1. Automatically download updates whenever a new version is available,
 notify user and offer to restart now or later, or
 2. Present the user with a modal dialog to force them to decide whether to
 update now or postpone.

New description:

 While I was watching a friend opening their out-dated Tor Browser, I
 realized they didn't pay attention to the big warning:

 [[Image(https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/raw-
 attachment/ticket/19270/tor%20browser%20copy.jpg)]]

 So I thought maybe one way to fix it, is to fade everything else on the
 page with CSS. I might try to send a patch later on, but feel free to beat
 me to it.
