Tor Browser nightly builds based on Firefox 60 ESR are available for Linux
Hi all! We are happy to announce that we finally have Tor Browser nightly builds for Linux available that are based in Firefox 60 ESR. From today, May 30, on you find them at the usual location: http://f4amtbsowhix7rrf.onion/tor-browser-builds/ We already tagged a bunch of issues we found in the pre-nightly bundles we built locally. For those we used the "ff60-esr" keyword. If you feel brave and test those nightlies, please report unfiled bugs you encounter. This helps us prioritizing things and gets those very likely fixed faster. We'll provide macOS bundles and Windows bundles as fast as we can. We are currently still working on the toolchain update. Known major issues with the nightlies so far: 1) A couple of months ago we needed to get out an emergency Tor Browser release to fix a possibly proxy bypass bug[1], affecting above all macOS users and potentially some Linux setups as well. We currently don't have a patch for that one as the underlying code changed too much between ESR52 and ESR60. However, Mozilla is working on that for us and we'll port the final fix back as soon as possible. 2) Loacalized bundles are not working correctly due to missing locale strings for the new circuit display. This should be fixed starting with the next nightlies as I pushed the respective changes a couple of hours ago to our Torbutton repository. 3) The nightlies have JavaScript blocked by default (some of you might even call this a feature). 4) Loading default bridges/moat is not working.

Okay, macOS builds are available now as well. \o/

1), 3) and 4) are still unfixed and to keep in mind while testing macOS nightlies, too. Georg

And Windows ones (both 32 and 64bit) now, too.
