Comment (by arma):

 Replying to [comment:6 mcs]:
 > A simple solution would be for Torbutton to store the current TBB
 version in a preference and invalidate (reset) other preferences such as
 extensions.torbutton.updateNeeded when it notices that the TBB version of
 the installed package has changed.

 Sounds great to me.
