Ah well, that's not so bad as I feared (as an esr and librewolf user I won't be seeing it for a while) but not so good as it might be. A little notification icon that appears when there's an update to inform people of such things is traditional and makes more sense to me.
Showing it instead when you visit a particular site unfortunately reminds people likely to be unhappy about it that their web browser now contains features designed specifically for the benefit of a small list of supported web sites.
