Bug 1732969: Start prompting to install every time that we detect that we're running from a .dmg disk image on macOS, not only on first run. r=mstange

Details | Review

Since running from a .dmg is not technically supported and can result in loss of data (such as bookmarks, browsing history etc.) it would seem that we should suggest to install Firefox to disk on every run from .dmg, not only on first run.
