Update using official shell script

[maxzrbn]

I tried updating the browser using the AppImage shell script, which has a Check for Updates functionality:

(zenupdate is an alias for bash <(curl https://updates.zen-browser.app/appimage.sh))
It looks successful but the browser is still stuck in an older version.

Hey @maxzrbn! 👋 I'm here to help you out with any bugs, questions, or contributions while you wait for a human maintainer.

I found some similar issues and discussions that might be relevant to your problem:

1. Open Issue: The linux version isn't updated? - This issue suggests that there might be a discrepancy between the version reported by the AppImage when executed in the terminal and the version displayed in the application settings. It could be due to a mismatch in how the version number is set or retrieved in different parts of the application. Checking if the constants AppConstants.MOZ_APP_VERSION_DISPLAY and AppConstants.ZEN_FIREFOX_VERSION are correctly updated during the build process might help ^[1].

2. Open Issue: Clear instructions for Updating App Images - To update your Zen browser using the zsync file on Linux, you can use the command bash <(curl https://updates.zen-browser.app/appimage.sh). Ensure that zsync is installed on your system, as it is required for the update feature of the script ^[2].

3. Open Issue: Appimage Installer Script won't ever update - This issue suggests that using the zsync file directly to check for updates isn't correct as it is meant for appimageupdatetool. A better method is to parse the repo and store the download URL, then compare the new URL with the old one to determine if there is an update available ^[3].

These issues might provide some insights or solutions to the problem you're experiencing with the update process.
