Tor Browser Update

This has been fixed for Firefox. Is it fixed for Tor also?

 

While my extensions (NoScript + HTTPS Everywhere) were still enabled, I checked for updates and HTTPS Everywhere failed to update, so I'll say not yet.

 

Tor Browser v8.0.9 Released (May 7, 2019)

Announcement

 

Thanks mood.

HTTPS Everywhere was still failing to update to I uninstalled it and installed a fresh copy. All good now.

Edit: Same problem on all three of my machines, including one running Linux Mint.

 

Hello @Krusty

Did you happen to notice the HTTPS Everywhere 2019.5.6.1 update?

HTH

 

Hi 1PW,

I think that was the version that wouldn't install. After uninstalling it then reinstalling I'm all good.

 

Hello @Krusty

Well done!

Cheers

New Release: Tor Browser 9.0a5

https://blog.torproject.org/new-release-tor-browser-90a5

 

New release: Tor 0.4.1.5

https://blog.torproject.org/new-release-tor-0415

 

I don't understand "0.4.1.5". On my Win7, Tor is up-to-date at version 8.5.4.

May I suggest that each update explain exactly which Tor is being updated -- beta or Linux or Android or whatever. Don't get me wrong -- I really really appreciate Mood & Minimalist for taking their time to give notice of updates. I do, in fact, rely on those notices.

 

"Tor" is at 0.4.1.5, "Tor BROWSER" is at 8.5.4.
And the alpha versions always have an "a" in the version number.

 

Thanks (I think). I shall confess my evident ignorance -- I did NOT know that "Tor" and "Tor Browser" are not one and the same thing. Sorry for the bother but will someone please help me understand the difference?

 

the onion router = tor = the backbone/network protocol upon which tor browser bundle is based.
