Comment:

 Privacy conscious users should not continue to use Tor Browser 7.5.6. It
 has known vulnerabilities (in the browser part, so updating Tor wouldn't
 fix that), and most users have updated (or are going to update) to Tor
 Browser 8.0, so remaining 7.5.6 users are going to stand out from the
 other Tor Browser users.

 If you cannot change the operating system on your machine, an option might
 be to boot a Tails USB key when you need to use Tor Browser:
