Hello! We are happy to announce the first Tor Browser 11.0.3 release candidate for wider testing. Packages can be found at: https://people.torproject.org/~gk/builds/11.0.3-build1/ Tor Browser 11.0.3 updates Firefox to 91.4.1esr and picks up a number of bug fixes for our 11.0 stable series. In particular, this release should fix various extension related and crash issues Windows users were experiencing. Additionally, Linux users especially on Ubuntu and Fedora systems were reporting fonts not properly rendering. We believe those problems will be solved in the 11.0.3 release as well. We used the opportunity to upgrade various components to their respective latest versions as well: Tor to 0.4.6.9, OpenSSL to 1.1.1m, and snowflake for enhanced censorship resistance.
