The URL looks like this:

https://aus5.mozilla.org/update/6/%PRODUCT%/%VERSION%/%BUILD_ID%/%BUILD_TARGET%/%LOCALE%/%CHANNEL%/%OS_VERSION%/%SYSTEM_CAPABILITIES%/%DISTRIBUTION%/%DISTRIBUTION_VERSION%/update.xml

It's app.update.url in about:config

The easiest way to see these values is to flip the preference app.update.log in about:config and look in the Browser Console. It will show the substitutions that are made in that URL.

I have a very old post that explains some of this (the current URL are a little different)
