Hey everyone, Pretty easy update here. There's a new Firefox and a new NoScript, but no major changes other than that. Packages: https://people.torproject.org/~erinn/qa/ff17.0.5esr/ sha256sums: https://people.torproject.org/~erinn/qa/ff17.0.5esr/sha256sums-ff17.0.5esr.t... Turnaround: 24h I hope to have the obfsproxy bundles available for testing by Wednesday. Thanks, Erinn

Is it? If so, should I try to fix it to not reference missing files?

Hi Erinn, I didn't get to test these when they came out, but at the moment I am having problems with Firefox crashing one a fairly regular basis, about once every two days. There's no particular reason I can see why FF would crash, however it seems to happen when I have more than one tab open, and when at least one page is quite complex (many sub-elements ... graphics, adds, JS, etc). No error appears on screen, nothing is written to a log which I can find, FF just disappears leaving the Vidalia window. Tor/Vidalia is still working OK, I have some applications (e.g. mail) using TBB/Tor via torsocks. Version: tor-browser-gnu-linux-x86_64-2.3.25-6-dev-en-US.tar.gz Platform: Debian 6.0.7 Processor: Intel(R) Pentium(R) CPU B950 @ 2.10GHz Any thoughts, or any suggestions to help diagnose most welcome. -- kat

Thanks Lunar. I can't actually reproduce that, but will take more notice and see if I can find something reproducible. Thanks -- kat

Hey Katya, The alpha bundles I just emailed -qa all had Firefox/TorBrowser rebuilt with some updated patches. Let us know if you still have this problem? Thanks!

Thanks Erinn, testing now. Will give it a few days before I respond (unless I can reproduce the problem). -- kat

Hi Erinn, Can't reproduce the error again so that's a good sign. Looking forward to testing the new stable bundle when it's ready. -- kat

Still looking good, no crashes. Will the updated patches be rolled into the next stable release? -- kat

Yep! Mike and I are just trying to figure out a way to re-enable optimization for Firefox on 32-bit Linux (there is a build crash on Debian Squeeze), but the stable bundles with the fix will come out within the next week regardless. Thanks for the update. :)
