Comment (by mcs):
Kathy and I reproduced this bug today and spent a little time debugging
it. It seems that when staged updates are not used, about:tor is not
opened. Of course staged updates are supposed to be used by default, but
on Windows everything appears to get staged and then, upon restart, the
staged files seem to be ignored in favor or re-applying the update from
the mar file. So there may actually be two bugs:
1. When staging is not used, about:tor is not opened. You can reproduce
this on non-Windows platforms by setting app.update.staging.enabled =
false before starting an update.
2. Staging is not occurring correctly on Windows. This makes updates take
longer.
We will continue to debug.
