**Found in**
* FxE 151.1.0 (20260521133807)

**Affected environment**
* Staging

**Tested platforms**
* Affected platforms: MacOS
* Unaffected platforms: MacOS and Ubuntu (On Ubuntu, automatic updates are not working yet)

**Preconditions**
* Have an update available/set up.
* Perform a profile cleanup on the machine to have a clean install.
* [Optional] Have the RelaunchRequired policy set up in the Admin Console.

**Steps to reproduce**
1. Install the older build on the machine. 
2. Make sure to turn off the internet before starting FELT.
3. After FELT starts up and updates fail (see error in FELT), turn on the internet and log in.
4. Wait for a few seconds for the update to be triggered.

**Expected result**
* The update is triggered, and a green dot is displayed in the hamburger menu, letting the user know there is a new version of FxE.

**Actual result**
* The update is NOT being triggered on MacOS.
* See screen record [here](https://drive.google.com/file/d/1VItXGmqkUvq2OzP6nd4VeG9gzKd47qn7/view?usp=drive_link).

**Notes:**
* After the update gets triggered like this once, the regular Firefox profiles need to be deleted for this to work again.
* This works as expected on Windows (please see video [here](https://drive.google.com/file/d/1na6iVxAN4IfDJzCrlvqQhpBATffhUte6/view?usp=drive_link))
