Tried to update via the “About Tor Browser” on macOS and got “Update failed.” with a prompt to download the whole browser again (I assume).

Hi!
Could you please go to about:config, accept the warning, look for app.update.log, flip it to true and check in the browser console (⌘⇧J I believe, on Linux and Windows is Ctrl+Shift+J, you can find it also in Hamburger menu → more tools) and paste a screenshot of any logs from the updater?
You can re-trigger it by going to About Tor Browser.

It seems the updater manifest (an XML that tells the browser where it can find updates) includes some wrong details (such as the update size and hash).
We’re trying to understand what went wrong during the deploy procedure and then we’re going deploy a correct update.
Your browser should take the update automatically when ready.
We apologize for the inconvenience.
