to

.
XXX
:
Check
if
there
's a new blog post upstream.
Starting from Friday May 3, a problem in *Firefox* and *Tor Browser*
disabled all add-ons.
This release fixes the activation of add-ons in *Tor Browser*,
especially the *NoScript* add-on which is used to:
- Most importantly, protect against a very strong fingerprinting
technique called *HTML5 canvas fingerprinting* which can break your
anonymity.
Using HTML5 canvas fingerprinting, 2 or more collaborating websites
can compare how graphics and text are displayed by your computer to
determine whether 2 website visits are coming from the same
computer.
- Strengthen *Tor Browser* against some JavaScript attacks that can
lead to compromised accounts and credentials on websites.
- Enable or disable JavaScript on some websites using the NoScript
interface, if you use it.
XXX: Create ticket
- Remove the *OpenPGP Applet* and *Pidgin* notification icons from the top
navigation bar.
[[!img top-navigation-bar.png link="no"]]
You can still access the *OpenPGP Applet* and *Pidgin* notification icons
from the system tray in the bottom-left corner of the screen.
To display the system tray, move your mouse to the thin gray line on the of
the window list in the bottom-left of the screen:
[[!img system-tray-folded.png class="margin" link="no"]] [[!img system-tray-unfolded.png class="margin" link="no"]]
To move these icons back to the top navigation bar, you can execute the
following command in a *Terminal*:
<p class="pre command">gnome-shell-extension-tool --enable-extension=TopIcons@phocean.net</p>
Until now, these icons were display in the top navigation bar by the
*TopIcons* GNOME extension. This extension is unmaintained, causes GNOME to
crash ([[!tails_ticket 11188]]), and will not work in Tails 5.0 based on
Debian 11 (Bullseye).
XXX: Tell the help desk what to do
- Install localization packages only for the following languages:
- Arabic
- English
- Farsi
- French
- German
- Hindi
- Indonesian
- Italian
- Portuguese
- Russian
- Simplified Chinese

You can install localization packages for other languages using the
*[[Additional Software|doc/first_steps/additional_software]]* feature.
Localization packages include:
- *Thunderbird* localization:
packages <span class="command">thunderbird-l10n-<span class="command-placeholder">lang</span></span>
- *LibreOffice* localization:
packages <span class="command">libreoffice-l10n-<span class="command-placeholder">lang</span></span>
- Spell-checking dictionaries:
packages <span class="command">hunspell-<span class="command-placeholder">lang</span></span>
Where <span class="command-placeholder">lang</span> is the code for
your language. For example, <span class="command-placeholder">es</span> for
Spanish.
XXX: Create ticket
- Add a suspend button to the system menu.
XXX: Add screenshot
- Add shutdown and restart buttons to the system menu when the screen is
locked.
XXX: Add screenshot
