Simultaneously, released a new version of Tor Browser 8.0.9, focused on anonymity, security and privacy. In the new releases of Tails and Tor Browser, problems with the disappearance of the NoScript add-on due to an expired intermediate certificate used in the Mozilla digital signature chain. As a workaround for users who have changed the "xpinstall.signatures.required" setting, it is recommended in about:config to set it back to "true" to resume verification of digital signatures. Additionally, the NoScript add-on has been updated to version 10.6.1 to fix a false warning about an XSS attack when submitting a search query to DuckDuckGo from about:tor.

Tails 3.13.2-specific changes include the removal of the OpenPGP applet and the Pidgin notification icon from the top navigation bar. These applets have been moved to the system tray, shown in the lower left corner of the screen (the tray expands when you hover over the gray line in the lower left corner, next to the list of windows). To return to the top panel, you can use the command "gnome-shell-extension-tool -[email protected]', but placement in the top bar is implemented with the TopIcons extension, which is unmaintained, crash-prone, and will not be included in the Debian 5.0-based Tails 11 branch.
