[tor-qa] Tor Browser 3.6.6 and 4.0a3 are ready for testing

[Georg Koppen]

Hi,

Tor Browser 3.6.6 and 4.0a3 are up:

https://people.torproject.org/~mikeperry/builds/3.6.6/
https://people.torproject.org/~mikeperry/builds/4.0-alpha-3/

This release contains above all an update to Firefox ESR 24.8.1esr which
fixes a critical bug in NSS. Moreover, the new Tor Browser versions
contain an updated tor (0.2.4.24 and 0.2.5.8-rc respectively), other
updated components and a workaround for a nasty hang on start-up
reported by many users (https://bugs.torproject.org/10804). The latter
is not well tested yet. If you encounter any weird behavior especially
during the start-up process we'd like to hear about it.
