Testing: tor-browser-linux64-6.0_en-US.tar.xz
Platform: Debian 8.4

Tor Browser 6.0 (based on Mozilla Firefox 45.1.1)
Tor v0.2.7.6 (git-7a489a6389110120)
Libevent 2.0.22-stable
OpenSSL 1.0.1t
Zlib 1.2.8.

TBB Launches successfully: yes
Connects to the Tor network: yes

All extensions are present and functional: yes
 - HTTPS-Everywhere 5.1.9
 - NoScript 2.9.0.11
 - TorButton 1.9.5.4
 - TorLauncher 0.2.9.3

    (Note that FF now makes it more difficult to check extension
     versions. *le sigh*)

WebBrowsing works as expected
 - HTTP, HTTPS, .onion browsing works
 - HTML5 videos work (http://videojs.com/)
 - http://ip-check.info/?lang=en - ok
 - https://panopticlick.eff.org/ - unique among 135,658, 17.05 bits of
   identifying information

SOCKS/external apps (Torsocks) work as expected: yes

I like the new search settings, similar to the Android version.

A couple of errors I've never seen before (using --debug, I replaced
the path to the base directory with "[PATH]"):

    (firefox:4397): Gtk-WARNING **: Attempting to store changes into
    `[PATH]/Browser/.local/share/recently-used.xbel', but failed:
    Failed to create file
    '[PATH]/Browser/.local/share/recently-used.xbel.C0SDIY': No such
    file or directory

    (firefox:4397): Gtk-WARNING **: Attempting to set the permissions
    of `[PATH]/Browser/.local/share/recently-used.xbel', but failed: No
    such file or directory 1464476516300	addons.productaddons
    ERROR	Request failed certificate checks: [Exception... "SSL

    data: no]
