    Tor Browser 7.0.4 is released boklm August 08, 2017

    Tor Browser 7.0.4 is now available from the Tor Browser Project page and also from our distribution directory.

    This release features important security updates to Firefox.

    A lot of Tor Browser components have been updated in this release. Apart from the usual Firefox update (to 52.3.0esr) we include a new Tor stable release (0.3.0.10) + an updated HTTPS-Everywhere (5.2.21) and NoScript (5.0.8.1).

    In this new release we continue to fix regressions that happened due to the transition to Firefox 52. Most notably, we avoid the scary warnings popping up when entering passwords on .onion sites without a TLS certificate (bug 21321). Handling our default start page (about:tor) has improved, too, so that using the searchbox on it is working again and it does no longer need enhanced privileges in order to function.
