New Release: Tor Browser 8.0.8

Why does Tor update when I specifically and repeatedly decline? The new updates breaks things and then I have to restore from tarball and loose many links. This is *very* annoying. If I say, no, I mean no.

I move the profile of the standard Firefox before I start Tor. For the first time, I suddenly had a request from the standard Firefox 'where is the profile'. The Standard Firefox start was hidden. It happened already for the second time. If the profile had not moved, it wouldn't have been noticed. A short initialized standard Firefox, which maybe sends a ping to an address and then immediately closed again. No idea how the standard Firefox was started, did not happen on the same website. Maybe a Html5 script inside one or more websites infiltrated by 'Mad Max'. Hopefully not implemented in Tor, but then surely without Torproject's knowledge. In any case, that happened twice now. The user would be finished.

HTTPS-Everywhere 2019.5.2.1 - released - (May 02, 2019)

Mozilla-Firefox-Extensions : https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/https-everywhere/

Homepage : https://www.eff.org/https-everywhere

ChangeLog : https://www.eff.org/files/Changelog.txt

It appears obtaining bridges is not working 3-May-2019. I get "Uh oh, spaghettios!

There currently aren't any bridges available..." when trying to obtain any bridges from "https://bridges.torproject.org/" When I try via email "bridges@bridges.torproject.org" I get a

"Here are your bridges:

(no bridges currently available)"

Tor Browser all of a sudden disabled all the extensions, after I opened it today.

NoScript could not be verified for use in Tor Browser and has been disabled
NoScript 10.6.1 (disabled)

P.S. why does Tor Browser allow all the extensions/add-ons to update automatically?

Noscript addon just disabled itself in Tor Browser for Linux. It's showing under Legacy Extensions in Addons Manager, and says in red "Noscript could not be verified for use in Tor Browser and has been disabled".

Tor browser 8.0.6
Functions that were working yesterday quit working today.

"These extensions do not meet current Tor Browser standards so they have been deactivated."
"NoScript could not be verified for use in Tor Browser and has been disabled."

The FAQ said there's no backdoor in Tor Browser.

Why is noscript not part of the Browser Bundle anymore? This is a MAJOR security hole.

After opening the TorBrowser, I get the following message: "NoScript could not be verified for use in the Torbrowser and has been disabled."

I`m using macOS Mojave 10.14.4

first i just checked for extension updates and some extensions got disabled,
then i did a fresh install with TBB 808 and the first i saw:
NoScript could not be verified for use in Tor Browser and has been disabled.

Modern browser security mozilla-style:

https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1548973
All extensions disabled due to expiration of intermediate signing cert(armagadd-on-2.0).

I bet mozilla needs more money to solve this.... .

if your add-ons are disabled now > about:config > xpinstall.signatures.required ; false
TBB is phoning home, isn't it?

[after the message is sent this blog is in a reload loop]

Hi, I have this version, 8.0.8
when i check for updates it says it's up to date (?)

Oh, never mind, I see this is the last stable version

Bad news. This looks like a serious security problem. Mozilla has disabled Noscript 10.2.4 in TBB 8.0.8 today; "Noscript could not be verified for use in Tor Browser and has been disabled" (found in hamburger menu under Add-ons>Extensions>Show legacy extensions). The Noscript button has disappeared from the browser. I've reinstalled TBB 8.0.8, but get the same result. As a consequence, the security slider is not protecting. It slides, but scripts are allowed on "Safest". Yikes. I hope this can be fixed with Giorgio Maone’s help, soon. Thank you.

tbb 8.0.0 + win32 + win7
Got today the following:
extensions - https://ibb.co/G7fjHfx
unsupported - https://ibb.co/ZBkZ7My
restart does not help. other tor instances\installations seems like fine.
how it may happen?

Noscript has been deactivated since 4-May-2019 in Tor Browser. Some said it was a bug and will be fixed by Firefox. Is there any comment and solution for this problem?

My NoScript add on was disabled by tor for "no reason", and when i try to reinstall it it says it cant cause its corrupt... Any solution ? i'm not an expert in this though

user_pref("xpinstall.signatures.required", false);

alegedly - it works only for Linux FF.... My TBB is on windows - thus the solution does not help.

Seems like Mozilla almost eliminated privacy for many Tor (TBB) users. How such situations may

be avoided in the future? Is it the extra attacking vector of TBB-users?

# User Preferences

user_pref("app.update.auto", false);
user_pref("app.update.enabled", false);
// https://2019.www.torproject.org/docs/torbutton/en/design/
user_pref("extensions.update.enabled", false);
user_pref("extensions.update.autoUpdateDefault", false);

Now I see why old instances\installations of TBB works - I used (temporary for sure!!!) disabled updates. I guess you may use it as workaround, meanwhile Mozilla working on "Bug 1548973 (armagadd-on-2.0)".

P.S. Are all armagedons heppen on Friday->Sutterday?

Today NoScript 10.6.1 stops working, Maximum protection for your browser: NoScript allows active content only for trusted domains of your choice to prevent exploitation.

I forgot to clarify in my comment yesterday, that TB [Tor Browser] had opened and worked fine for about 4-5 minutes, and then all of a sudden all the extensions were disabled. Subsequent restarts of the browser haven't fixed it.

So I made a clean install of TB in a separate folder & still the same thing happened! As soon as I started TB, it disabled all the extensions again, even NoScript. Just shows an error: NoScript could not be verified for use in Tor Browser and has been disabled.

Well, so then I tried opening TB on my Android device [build 8.5a11, I believe] and the exact same thing happened [all the extensions were disabled].

I'm stumped. As I do not know what to do next...

noscript 10.2.4 dont work tor browser 8.0.8

An error message in the plugin

NoScript could not be verified for use in Tor Browser and has been disabled

NoScript 10.2.4 (Disabled)

URGENT!
NoScript was automatically disabled in background and removed from toolbar.

https://www.reddit.com/r/linux/comments/bkgihr/expired_certificate_disa… <- armagaddon 2.0

Suddenly, every add-on in Firefox broke because of an expired cert.

Tor Browser 8.0.8 is also affected. Disabling uMatrix and NoScript (*not* loading and executing stuff should be core functionality of any browser, not add on, anyway!!!) rips a huge hole into browser security. Seriously, please considerr ditching Mozilla in the short to mid term, they love antifeatures and this was the last straw.

Hi. Only my laptop has audio, and it is a major pain to type on, so I'm trying to use X11 to display on my main desktop from the laptop. This works okay, except no audio. I've tried running Tor on the laptop and displaying on the desktop, no joy. I've tried running Tor on the Desktop and displaying on the laptop, no joy. Running both on the laptop I get audio. However, the laptop starts overheating and will shutdown if I let the temperature get too hot, especially if playing a video too. (No money for new equipment.) In theory, running Tor on the laptop and displaying on X11 on the desktop should provide audio. Is there a workaround for this? It is a major pain. (Yes, installing an audio card in the desktop/router would will work once somebody throws some money my way. Until then.....) Any ideas will be appreciated. One more thing. The "Troubleshooting" page says the audio is "remote" when running on the laptop, but displaying on the desktop. When both are on laptop, the Media doesn't say "remote" but displays the audio chip of my laptop. I'm a retired Technician, but have been offline for about 5 years. I'm retired. Thanks in advance.
