Comment:

 Kathy and I are starting to look at implementation for this ticket and we
 have a few UX questions:
 1. Should the post-update about:tor page that includes the `Tor Browser
 has been updated` text be displayed one time and one time only? We assume
 the answer is yes, but that does mean there will be no way for the user to
 return to that variation of about:tor once they close it or navigate away.
 2. Should we include the `For the most up-to-date information about this
 release, visit our website.` text and link on the new about:changelog
 page? Kathy and I think we should so that users can access that link in
 the future by opening about:changelog (after they close or navigate away
 from the post-update about:tor page).
 3. Should the top-right corner of about:tor always include the `View
 Changelog` link, or should that only be visible in the post-update
 about:tor page? Always including it seems preferable because that will
 provide a way for users to see the changelog later from within the
 browser.
