Hi!
We are happy to announce the first Tor Browser 8.5.4 release candidate
for wider testing. Bundles can be found at

Tor Browser 8.5.4 contains updates to a number of its components. Above
all, we include Firefox 60.8.0esr which contains important security
fixes. Moreover, after some testing in the alpha series, we start
