Hi everyone,
we are pleased to accounce that Tor Browser 6.0 is ready for testing. Bundles can be found on:
Testing: tor-browser-linux64-6.0_en-US.tar.xz Platform: Debian 8.4
Tor Browser 6.0 (based on Mozilla Firefox 45.1.1) Tor v0.2.7.6 (git-7a489a6389110120) Libevent 2.0.22-stable OpenSSL 1.0.1t Zlib 1.2.8.
TBB Launches successfully: yes Connects to the Tor network: yes
All extensions are present and functional: yes - HTTPS-Everywhere 5.1.9 - NoScript 2.9.0.11 - TorButton 1.9.5.4 - TorLauncher 0.2.9.3
(Note that FF now makes it more difficult to check extension versions. *le sigh*)
WebBrowsing works as expected - HTTP, HTTPS, .onion browsing works - HTML5 videos work (http://videojs.com/) - http://ip-check.info/?lang=en - ok - https://panopticlick.eff.org/ - unique among 135,658, 17.05 bits of identifying information
SOCKS/external apps (Torsocks) work as expected: yes
I like the new search settings, similar to the Android version.
A couple of errors I've never seen before (using --debug, I replaced the path to the base directory with "[PATH]"):
(firefox:4397): Gtk-WARNING **: Attempting to store changes into `[PATH]/Browser/.local/share/recently-used.xbel', but failed: Failed to create file '[PATH]/Browser/.local/share/recently-used.xbel.C0SDIY': No such file or directory
