Problem with Updating Tor Browser #641

Important first questions

  1. Is your FFUpdater up-to-date? If not, please abort and update FFUpdater. Yes, version 79.2.5

  2. Do you spot similar issues in https://github.com/Tobi823/ffupdater/issues? If yes, please abort and add your error message as a comment to the existing issue. No, I do not.

Describe the bug In FFUpdater, the installed tor browser always shows an installed version of 128.x.0esr, where x stands for a number. The available version always says 14.0.1. As a consequence, FFUpdater does not notify the user that they have to update the browser. Instead, the user will have to click the information button, hit the "Install latest version" prompt, and download and install the browser that way. The browser will download and successfully update. However, the installed version number will say 128.4.0esr, instead of 14.0.1. This is inconsistent between the two fields (installed and available), and, as previously mentioned, will not result in FFUpdater telling the user that the browser needs to be updated when a subsequent update is pushed by the tor project.

To Reproduce Please insert the steps to reproduce the behavior here: Open FFUpdater Look at installed and available tor browser versions (if tor browser is already installed). Notice the discrepancy. Follow the steps in the bug description to update the browser manually. Notice the discrepancy in versions even after updating to the correct version.

Expected behavior Before updating, I expect FFUpdater to tell me that the tor browser needs updating. After updating, I expect both the installed and available fields to say the version number 14.0.1.

Error message from FFUpdater No error message.
