> It features an updated Firefox (38.4.0esr) and Tor 0.2.7.4-rc + a number
> of other improvements. Most notably, we included Yan Zhu's fix for not
> leaking the Referer header when leaving a .onion domain and finally
> sorted out the HTTPS-Everywhere build problems allowing us to ship its
> latest version in our bundles again. We fixed usability issues coming
> with our font fingerprinting patches and included a new defense against
> figerprinting users via available MIME types and plugins. Finally,
> besides additional minor bug fixes and clean-ups, we included an updated
> NoScript version.
