# [Tails 6.3](https://tails.net/news/version_6.3/index.en.html)

# Changes and updates

* Add back translations in Romanian and Malayalam.

* Update _Tor Browser_ to [13.0.15](https://blog.torproject.org/new-release-tor-browser-13015).

* Disable temporarily the PDF reader of _Thunderbird_ to protect from a security vulnerability related to the handling of fonts in PDF files. ([CVE-2024-4367](https://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE%2D2024%2D4367))

You can still open PDF files in the _Document Viewer_ from _Thunderbird_.

* Make **Restart later** the default button, instead of **Restart now** , at the end of an automatic upgrade.

# Fixed problems

* Fix the configuration of new printers when some printers were already configured in the Persistent Storage in Tails 5.23 or earlier. ([#20271](https://gitlab.tails.boum.org/tails/tails/-/issues/20271))

* Remove the long delay between the Welcome Screen and the GNOME desktop when MAC address anonymization fails. ([#17813](https://gitlab.tails.boum.org/tails/tails/-/issues/17813))

For more details, read our
[changelog](https://gitlab.tails.boum.org/tails/tails/-/blob/master/debian/changelog).

# Get Tails 6.3

## To upgrade your Tails USB stick and keep your Persistent Storage

* Automatic upgrades are available from Tails 6.0 or later to 6.3.

You can [reduce the size of the
download](https://tails.net/doc/upgrade/index.en.html#reduce) of future
automatic upgrades by doing a manual upgrade to the latest version.

* If you cannot do an automatic upgrade or if Tails fails to start after an automatic upgrade, please try to do a [manual upgrade](https://tails.net/doc/upgrade/index.en.html#manual).
