Tor browser always displays the upgrade notification with Torbutton >= 1.6.8.0
Originally created by @anonym on #7097 (Redmine)
In our Tor browser builds, the pref torbrowser.version
is set to
Tails
, and this does not work well together with upstream’s commit
b9fb03cd
(in Torbutton’s Git repo).
My guess is that there’s an assumption that torbrowser.version
must
look like an actual TBB version, like 3.5.4-Linux
or whatever. With it
set to something like Tails
the upgrade notification is always
blinking, suggesting that there’s an upgrade available.
Is this an upstream bug, or do we have to set torbrowser.version
to
something else from now on?
