Tor Browser 4.5.2 is released

A new release for the stable Tor Browser is available from the Tor Browser Project page and also from our distribution directory.

Tor Browser 4.5.2 provides a fix for the Logjam attack (https://weakdh.org/) and updates a number of Tor Browser components: Tor to version 0.2.6.9, Torbutton to version 1.9.2.6, NoScript to version 2.6.9.26 and HTTPS-Everywhere to version 5.0.5.

Cloudflare has changed his ugly behaviour blocking normal surfing with tor and is
working with most(?) exit relays?
That would be nice.

Have you changed the way the scrolling through pages with the arrow down key works? Ever since this update it seems using the arrow up and down keys to move up and down a webpage results in different behaviour. Whereas before it would scroll down evenly and smoothly, now it makes sudden jumps and seems to act more like a tab key! I dont think it is performing tab function though. It will work well when scrolling through text for example, but then will suddenly change.

It seems like the arrow keys might be causing the cursor to jump to sections of text as if you are in a word processing program rather than on a webpage! It is very annoying whatever it is and I think it should be changed back. It also caused trouble when trying to select a body of text using the shift key + the up or down arrow, suddenly deselecting a section of text that had already been selected and jumping to another section. Is this a bug or was this deliberate to try and achieve something?
