This release features important security updates [3] to Firefox.

This new stable release is picking up security fixes for Firefox 68.3.0esr
and updating our external extensions (NoScript and HTTPS Everywhere) to
their latest versions.

Apart from backports for patches that already landed in alpha releases
and fixing an error in our circuit display and improving our letterboxing
support, Tor Browser 9.0.2 provides properly localized Android bundles
again as well.


_Reproducible Builds_

The issue with reproducible builds mentioned in the 9.0.1 blog post [4]
is still present in this release. We however made progress on understanding
the issue [5] and are getting closer to a fix.
