Hi,
Tor Browser 3.6.6 and 4.0a3 are up:
https://people.torproject.org/~mikeperry/builds/3.6.6/ https://people.torproject.org/~mikeperry/builds/4.0-alpha-3/
This release contains above all an update to Firefox ESR 24.8.1esr which fixes a critical bug in NSS. Moreover, the new Tor Browser versions contain an updated tor (0.2.4.24 and 0.2.5.8-rc respectively), other updated components and a workaround for a nasty hang on start-up reported by many users (https://bugs.torproject.org/10804). The latter is not well tested yet. If you encounter any weird behavior especially during the start-up process we'd like to hear about it.
Here are the full changelogs:
