Hi all!

Tor Browser 7.5.4 is ready for testing. Bundles can be found on:

https://people.torproject.org/~boklm/builds/7.5.6-build4

Tor Browser 7.5.6 contains security updates to Firefox and includes
newer versions of NoScript and HTTPS Everywhere. Moreover, we added the
latest Tor stable version, 0.3.3.7.

This Tor Browser version additionally contains a number of backported
patches from the alpha, most notably the feature to treat cookies set by
.onion domain as secure as well.

For Windows users we activated an option that prevents an accidental
proxy bypass when dealing with UNC paths.
