Tor Browser 7.0.4 is released
Tor Browser 7.0.4 is now available from the Tor Browser Project page and also from our distribution directory.
This release features important security updates to Firefox.
A lot of Tor Browser components have been updated in this release. Apart from the usual Firefox update (to 52.3.0esr) we include a new Tor stable release (0.3.0.10) + an updated HTTPS-Everywhere (5.2.21) and NoScript (5.0.8.1).
In this new release we continue to fix regressions that happened due to the transition to Firefox 52. Most notably, we avoid the scary warnings popping up when entering passwords on .onion sites without a TLS certificate (bug 21321). Handling of our default start page (about:tor) has improved, too, so that using the searchbox on it is working again and it does no longer need enhanced privileges in order to function.

They should make the icon…
They should make the icon and name of the Tor Browser more discrete and/or customizable, in case there may be more than one person using the computer it is installed on. It would be nice to be able to change the Icon to something else, and change the name associated with it to something else. Or maybe offer an alternative install option, just for "same computer privacy" issues. In which the installation of the Tor Browser is given a different name, install path, etc. Other local users may not be as responsible with its use if they found out about it.
