Torbutton 1.4.0 Released

by phobos | July 9, 2011

Torbutton 1.4.0 has been released at:
https://www.torproject.org/torbutton/

The addon has been disabled on addons.mozilla.org. Our URL is now
canonical.

This release features support for Firefox 5.0, and has been tested
against the vanilla release for basic functionality. However, it has
not been audited for Network Isolation, State Separation, Tor
Undiscoverability or Interoperability issues[1] due to toggling under
Firefox 5.

If you desire Torbutton functionality with Firefox 4/5, we recommend
you download the Tor Browser Bundle 2.2.x alphas from
https://www.torproject.org/dist/torbrowser/ or run Torbutton in its
own separate Firefox profile.

The reasons for this shift are explained here:
https://blog.torproject.org/blog/toggle-or-not-toggle-end-torbutton

If you find bugs specific to Firefox 5, toggling, and/or extension
conflicts, file them under the component "Torbutton":
https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/report/14

Bugs that still apply to Tor Browser should be filed under component
"TorBrowserButton":
https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/report/39

Bugs in the "Torbutton" component currently have no maintainer
available to fix them. Feel free to step up.

(No, simply mis-filing your Torbutton toggle bugs under
TorBrowserButton won't cause them to get fixed accidentally. It will
just annoy me slightly as I relocate them to the correct component).

Here is the complete changelog:
* bug 3101: Disable WebGL. Too many unknowns for now.

I just installed Tor button 1.40 and I notice that it doesn't toggle on and off with a single click anymore. Is it possible to make it do that like the previous versions did?
