Bug Description

On launch, the application checks for an update, and then reports "Error checking for updates."

It is looking at https://check.torproject.org/RecommendedTBBVersions , but the URL has changed to https://www.torproject.org/projects/torbrowser/RecommendedTBBVersions. :/

Not sure if we can just ask the Tor folks to do a redirect or at the very least mirror the data? Otherwise, we need to SRU :(

Should be a simple SRU.

I can confirm that TBB doesn't work in Utopic but it does in all vivid flavours I have; Unity, Gnome and Mate.
