TBB Launches successfully: yes
Connects to the Tor network: yes
Browser toolbars and menus work, tab dragging works: yes
Donation banner present: yes
Circuit display present: yes

Referrer is set to the current domain when leaving a .onion

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

WebBrowsing works as expected
 - HTTP, HTTPS, .onion browsing works (http://duskgytldkxiuqc6.onion/)
 - HTML5 videos work on http://videojs.com/ and YouTube

SOCKS/external apps work as expected: Yes (Torbirdy)

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.
> 
> There are other features/bug fixes coming with this release which can be
> found in the full changelog:
