I even tried updating the addons in order to make the "Your Firefox is out of date" disappear but no change. I looked at the bug-report and tried the second option shared therein - A solution -- Go to about:config/extensions.bootstrappedAddon Reset the string Value to empty Value {} Restart Tor browser. The warning will not appear again. That worked. https://www.reddit.com/r/TOR/comments/4x8wwk/solution_for_the_false_warning_your_firefox_is/ -- Regards, Shirish Agarwal शिरीष अग्रवाल My quotes in this email licensed under CC 3.0 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/3.0/ http://flossexperiences.wordpress.com EB80 462B 08E1 A0DE A73A 2C2F 9F3D C7A4 E1C4 D2D8 -- tor-talk mailing list - tor-talk@lists.torproject.org To unsubscribe or change other settings go to https://lists.torproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tor-talk
