 same way. Torbutton could warn users at startup, but it's broken the same

 Huh?  `RecommendedTBBVersions` has nothing to do with the sandbox, and
 `downloads.json` has nothing to do with the normal Tor Browser update
 process.

 Anyway this is basically "fixed" now (thanks bolkm).  Both git master (and
 the next sandbox tag, whenever I get around to it) will pull from
 `update_3` in the future, and there isn't much I can do about "the
 location where all the metadata lives changed" now that I think about it.

 This is also basically fixed by https://gitweb.torproject.org/tor-browser
 /sandboxed-tor-
 browser.git/commit/?id=fc3475761427977cd63dfaa0351809174b147eb5

 I was told that the `update_2` stuff will be valid for a while, but
 apparently not.

 I could also just force an update check on first launch after an install
 or something.  Maybe I'll do that anyway because it's easy to do

Comment (by yawning):

 One thing that would be a permanent fix would be to write a MAR unpacker
 and use the non-incremental MARs instead of the tarball + signature, since
 the XML resources and MARs will always be up to date.

 Patches accepted, I'm not going to do it.

 I'm not sure what you expect me to do about this since I have nothing to
 do with uploading the metadata.
