Download Tor Browser 8.0.9

Version 8.0.9 of Tor Browser has been released. Tor stands for The Onion Router and is a network that can be used to surf the Internet fairly anonymously. All users’ tcp traffic is routed through various Tor routers, after which it is virtually impossible for the recipient to trace who the original sender was. This information is still present within the Tor network, so that answers, of course also via the system of routers, eventually arrive at the right place. The changelog for this release looks like this:

New Release: Tor Browser 8.0.9

This release fixes the issue which caused NoScript and all other Firefox extensions signed by Mozilla to be disabled. If you used the workaround mentioned in our previous blog postdon’t forget to set the xpinstall.signatures.required entry in about:config back to true after installing this update.

Note: We did not bump the Firefox version number to be able to build faster, thus it will still show 60.6.1esr as the Firefox version.
