Attachment: Update Icon Only on Win10

Filing this as per https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1549242#c22

My testing results with Thunderbird Daily 69.0a1 and Beta 68.0b2 to 68.0b3

Update for Thunderbird Daily 69.0a1 on Ubuntu 18.04.2 LTS
I get the doorhanger from the "Green arrow circle" next to the "Switch to the calendar tab" icon and click "Download Update"
I don't get a prompt to restart when the update is downloaded and applied
I have to open Help > About Daily and click the "Restart to update Daily" button

Update for Thunderbird Daily 69.0a1 on Linux Mint 19.1 Cinnamon
Same as above

Update for Thunderbird Beta 68.0b2 to 68.0b3 on Linux Mint 19.1 Cinnamon (Ubuntu already updated using Help > About)
Same as Thunderbird Daily on Ubuntu Linux
I have to open Help > About Thunderbird and click the "Restart to update Thunderbird"

Update for Thunderbird Daily on Windows 10
Only the icon with the arrow inside the green circle appears next to the "Switch to the calendar tab" icon".
I have to open Help > About Daily
Click "Update to 69.0a1 (2019-07-04)"
Update downloaded and applied
Click "Restart to update Daily"

With Firefox the "Download Update" doorhanger drops down from the AppMenu, then after clicking "Download Update" and the update is applied the green circle with the arrow appears letting the user know to restart.
Open the AppMenu and the "Restart to update (Version name)" menu item is at the top.
Click that and Firefox restarts.

Update.

I saw the doorhanger when testing updating from TB 68.0b3 to 68.0b4 on Windows 10 yesterday.

Still not getting a restart prompt and have to use Help > About to restart for beta and nightly.

Still seeing this in current beta?

Yes, with 91.0b3 on Windows 10 I received the "Download Update" door hanger prompt @ 11:30 am.

While Help > About shows a "Restart to update Thunderbird" button I am still waiting for a Restart indication in the App Menu or tab bar @ 11:45 am.
Used the Help > About button to restart.
