Comment:

 TBB fetches a file from check which lists the versions, compares its own
 version against that and if it needs an upgrade fetches the special
 "there's an upgrade available" page from check. Check never gets to learn
 which version you were on before, and neither does another website.

 Please stop using trac as a user support tool.
