    Tor Browser 7.5.6 is now available from the Tor Browser Project page and also from our distribution directory.

    This release features important security updates to Firefox.

    Tor Browser 7.5.6 updates Firefox to 52.9.0esr and includes newer versions of NoScript and HTTPS Everywhere. Moreover, we added the latest Tor stable version, 0.3.3.7.

    This Tor Browser version additionally contains a number of backported patches from the alpha, most notably the feature to treat cookies set by .onion domain as secure as well.

    For Windows users we activated an option that prevents an accidental proxy bypass when dealing with UNC paths.
