Hi,
We have been working on improving the connection to Tor user flow in Tor
Browser. In the next week, Tor Browser stable will have a new "Connecting
to Tor" experience. You can wait and update your Tor Browser, or if you
want to test and report bugs, you can try it first by downloading Tor
Browser Alpha:
https://www.torproject.org/download/alpha/
Note: Please only download an alpha if you are okay with some things not
working properly, want to help us find and report bugs, and are not putting
yourself at risk.
