  • Tor Update Problem (?)

    From harley@harley@invalid.net to alt.comp.software.firefox on Thu Nov 20 09:59:54 2025

    I'm using Windows 7. I was using Tor 115.30esr. For some reason or
    other I decided to click on the Update button in Tor. I ended up with
    Tor version 13.5.25. I get the following message when clicking on the
    Help item.

    Tor Browser
    Extended Support Release
    13.5.25 (based on Mozilla Firefox 115.30esr)

    I went from version 115 to version 13? That seems like a downgrade in
    numbers. Is this really an "upgrade" to 115.30esr?

    Tor is a fork of Firefox. It can have its own separate version history
    from Firefox.

    Does not list any version above 15.0.2 as current. Maybe what you
    actually had before was Tor 11.5, or you remember seeing the 115.30esr
    as part of the "(based on ..." string.
