I realised something while using Nightly.
If I don't restart Firefox for many days, it won't upgrade to the last nightly on the next restart but to the next one after the day I started nightly.

Let say I have started my computer with Firefox on Wednesday, February 1st.
Then Firefox Nightly 2017-02-02 is downloaded and installed and waiting for a restart to apply.

I use Firefox few hours everyday for few days and eventually restart my Firefox the next Monday.
When I restart it on Monday, Nightly version is 2017-02-02 instead of 2017-02-05.

I know it is probably the implemented behaviour, however we should probably add a way for people to get the new upgrade even if they don't restart Firefox in between upgrades.

The upgrade is apply only on the next restart so we could keep applying updates until we finally restart Firefox.
