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)

Tor Browser 8.0.9 is now available from the Tor Browser Download page and also from our distribution directory.
This release is fixing the issue which caused NoScript and all other Firefox extensions signed by Mozilla to be disabled.

If you used the workaround mentioned in our previous blog post, don't forget to set the xpinstall.signatures.required entry in about:config back to true after installing this update.
Note: We did not bump the Firefox version number to be able to build faster, thus it will still show 60.6.1esr as the Firefox version.

Hi 1PW,

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

Tor Browser v8.5.1 Released (June 4, 2019)

Tor Browser 8.5.1 is now available from the Tor Browser Download page and also from our distribution directory.

Tor Browser 8.5.1 is the first bugfix release in the 8.5 series and aims at mostly fixing regressions and providing small improvements related to our 8.5 release. Additionally, we disable the WebGL readPixel() fingerprinting vector, realizing, though, that we need a more holistic approach when trying to deal with the fingerprinting potential WebGL comes with.

New release: BridgeDB 0.7.1
https://blog.torproject.org/new-release-bridgedb-071

Our users rely on bridges if their ISPs or governments block access to the Tor network. In essence, bridges are just private Tor relays that we hand out to users who need them. The difficulty lies in handing out bridges to censored users but not to censors. We are tackling this problem with the tool BridgeDB, which makes it easy to get some bridges, but hard to get many. BridgeDB allows users to request bridges over a web page, over email, and directly in Tor Browser.
