--------------------------------------------------+---------------------
The Tor Browser people decided to randomly change the URL that contains
the update XML files, so metadata will live under `update_3` at some point
in the future. The sandbox code pulls all channels pull updates from
`update_2` at the moment (along with the relevant `downloads.json` files).
There's some talk of redirects so as long as `update_2` keeps working till
something like 7.5, this can probably be pushed off till 7.0 ships.

(It would be nice if, they told me they were doing this, though I guess
stumbling on it randomly in trac works too.)
