It was moved to be an automatic action when opening the "About" dialog 
instead. "Removed" is too strong a word, as no functionality has been 
actually removed, just instead of being an explicit menu item, it's an 
action that is automatically started when opening this dialog. And I 
find that a quite clever idea, as it was always strange that a menu item 
would dynamically change for the status of an action, it's way more 
logical to have that status displayed in a dialog - and that one already 
existed and already was closely connected with the question of "do I 
have the most current Firefox or is an update there?".
