New description:
Instead of the current logic which is "Check for updates once at launch,
if it has been either over 6 hours since the last successful check OR the
time of last check is in the future.", the update check/update download
should happen every six hours in the background, and the user should be
prompted to restart.
Full integration into the Tor Browser UI is likely a lot of work, so this
is probably best accomplished by the agent popping up a dialog box when
the update is complete (or using GNotification ~~~and a system tray
icon/menu~~~).
Edit: Due to time constraints this ticket primarily concerns background
update checks.

Comment (by yawning):
I'm going to go with the contingency plan here, so I can work on other
also useful things.. I'll file separate tickets for the background update
download and full UI integration.
