Everything works well, apart from the initial connection to https://panopticlick.eff.org. The result is a warning page saying that the connection is untrusted (error code: sec_error_unknown_issuer) and there is no way to proceed. Toggling noscript.alwaysBlockUntrustedContent from true to false fixes the problem, and then after toggling back to true the problem does *not* reoccur when restarted. It is only the first load after extraction which is the issue. I don't recall this happening before. Maybe a change in NoScript? (The root cause appears to be that the intermediate chain isn't being pushed from the server.)
On the plus side, the result from Panopticlick is very good!

This happens with a clean, new TBB 3.6.1 as well. Thus, it is not related to anything new in TBB 3.6.2.

Thanks Georg. I ran out of time for a little while and haven't tested since 3.5.4. Hmmm ... I just extracted that version anew and it exhibits the same problem. Maybe it is because of the intermediate chain. I'll get in touch with EFF.

For what it's worth, I've also emailed Giorgio of NoScript. Since changing that NoScript option seems to prevent the issue, it seems like NoScript may be at fault here somehow.. Though I am also wondering if it is perhaps an interaction between NoScript and HTTPS-Everywhere.
Thanks for narrowing this down to that NoScript option in TBB though! That was extremely helpful.

I use Tor heavily, so I try to give back where I can - even if it is only something small!

Hot on the heels of 3.6.2, here's a version of 3.6.2 built with meek.
https://people.torproject.org/~dcf/pt-bundle/3.6.2-meek-1/ https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/wiki/doc/meek#Quickstart
The main differences in this release are that you can now use an upstream HTTP or SOCKS proxy, and you no longer get two dock icons on OS X.
In order to test a SOCKS proxy, you can use ssh with any host you have SSH access to: ssh -v -D 1080 -N <sshhost> Use Tor Browser's configuration wizard to set a SOCKS 5 proxy for localhost port 1080.
