Breaking profile changes - do not downgrade Firefox and use a profile that has been opened with Firefox 55+.

Modernized application update UI to be less intrusive and more
aligned with the rest of the browser. Only users who have not restarted
their browser 8 days after downloading an update or users who opted out
of automatic updates will see this change.
