All extensions are present and functional: yes - HTTPS-Everywhere 5.1.1 - NoScript 2.7 - TorButton 1.9.3.7 - TorLauncher 0.2.7.7
New versions correct: yes - Open SSL: 1.0.1q - Tor: v0.2.7.6 - Firefox 38.5.0esr

Side note, why is https://check.torproject.org/ not an onion service? Wouldn’t that be a better way of seeing if the browser is correctly configured to use Tor?

Hello tor-qa people!
Tor Browser 5.0.5 is ready for testing. Bundles can be found on
https://people.torproject.org/~gk/builds/5.0.5-build1/
Apart from the usual Firefox update (to version 38.5.0esr) this release features a new Tor (0.2.7.6) + an updated OpenSSL (1.0.1q), NoScript (2.7) and HTTPS-Everywhere (5.1.1). Moreover, we fixed an annoying bug in our circuit display (circuits weren't visible sometimes) and improved our fingerprinting defense against MIME type enumeration.
After testing the new build process for HTTPS-Everywhere in the last alpha (5.5a4) we made the necessary changes to the code for the stable channel as well. This allows us to ship the latest HTTPS-Everyhwere versions again.
Last but not least: A number of bundles (en-US, de, fa, fr, nl, ru, tr and zh-CN ones) will have a donation banner activated encouraging users to donate money to us. Testing (the layout of) it in these locales on different operating systems would be especially helpful. The banner is visible on the about:tor page and should be so only ten times. It features either Roger or Laura or Cory which is randomly chosen.
