No, I didn't make it clear.  I was asking which FILE that TBB used, to 
cue off of to check for NEW versions (as SOON as TBB starts), & I'm 
assuming (but, in this case, maybe just a bug) - then checks a site - 
which I guess you listed above.  Maybe some setting got set to "Latest 
Ver? = No", and is stuck.

Yes, it's a fresh d/l - don't know how many times I have to d/l & do the 
same thing, the same way & expect diff results, before I'm pronounced 
insane. :)

When TBB starts, goes to Tor check site, it also has notice on same 
startup page that an update is avail.  Maybe it actually checked, or 
that's just a msg that "got stuck."  No matter how many times (so far) 
TBB is restarted, it still gives same msg about update avail.

BUT..... if I manually check for updates, it says TBB is UP TO DATE.  So 
there's something wrong in a file, or the auto version checking / 
startup process, etc.
