 Our Torbutton menu shortcut to "Check for Updates" can cause updates to
 fail if you click on it after an incremental update has already been
 successfully downloaded and applied, but you did not restart the browser
 yet. For some reason, it tries to download the update again (the full
 update mar this time) and then it reports an integrity error.

 Clicking on it one more time then restarts the whole update process from
 the incremental.
