 Thank you for your feedback and clarifications.  Should we change
 Torbutton to stop retrieving
 https://www.torproject.org/projects/torbrowser/RecommendedTBBVersions ?

 If we do stop checking RecommendedTBBVersions, we may want to increase the
 frequency of the checks done by the updater and/or possibly trigger a
 check when about:tor is loaded.  Our check interval is currently the same
 as Firefox's (twice per day, governed by app.update.interval).
