After accepting the Firefox MacOS update elevation dialog, if the update is declined on the next attempt, we go back to showing the elevation dialog instead of trying again

Prerequisite
- Have a nightly install that is already up-to-date.
Steps to reproduce
- Open the default profile and leave open through all steps below.
- Open a new profile with the same nightly install (close and repeat over many hours if needed for the next step).
- Observe that the new profile shows the elevation system (this is not a firefox) dialog before you open the new profile.
- Press Esc to dismiss the dialog.
- Close the newly created profile instance. There should now be only the default profile still running.
- Focus back to the default profile and try to install any updates when they are available from the
About Firefox
update button.
Expected behaviour
- The 'Update Ready to Install' firefox dialog is shown immediately, if required.
- The 'About Firefox' update button is either in a disable state or notifies you to click on the prior mentioned dialog first.
Actual behaviour
- The 'About Firefox' update button is in an enabled state (even though it does not work as intended, see bullet point below).
- Observe that the default profile restarts to apply an update, but after restart, the update is not applied. You can go back to
About Firefox
and see the same version still there. - The 'Update Ready to Install' dialog is always opened after a delay and always in the background, so you are unaware of its existence until you close/minimize/move the firefox window.

We talked about this yesterday on Slack. Technically this is the feature working as intended. But I don't want to close this bug because this experience is not great and I think we should at least track it.

Summary: Opening a secondary profile causes the 'About Firefox' update button to silently not work → After accepting the Firefox MacOS update elevation dialog, if the update is declined on the next attempt, we go back to showing the elevation dialog instead of trying again
