[tor-qa] Tor Browser 6.0.6 is ready for testing

[Georg Koppen]

Hi all!

Tor Browser 6.0.6 is ready for testing. Bundles can be found on

https://people.torproject.org/~boklm/builds/6.0.6-build5

This release is updating Firefox to 45.5.0esr fixing important security
bugs. Moreover, other components are getting an update as well: Tor to
0.2.8.9, HTTPS-Everywhere to 5.2.7, and OpenSSL to 1.0.1u to name just a
few.

We fixed a lot of usability bugs, some caused by Apple's macOS Sierra
(meek did not work anymore and windows could not be dragged either). We
moved directly to DuckDuckGo as our search engine avoiding a roundtrip
to Disconnect.me first. Finally, we added a donation banner shown in
some localized bundled starting on Nov 15 in order to point to our
end-of-the-year 2016 donation campaign.
