Tor Browser 6.0.8 is here exactly two weeks after the November 30, 2016, release of Tor Browser 6.0.7, and rebases the Tor-enabled anonymous web browser on the latest Mozilla Firefox 45.6.0 ESR (Extended Support Release) browser, thus fixing a bunch of important security vulnerabilities discovered lately by upstream. Also new in the Tor Browser 6.0.8 web browser release is support for the latest Tor 0.2.8.11 anonymous network client/server implementation, Torbutton 1.9.5.13 tool for application-level security and privacy concerns in Firefox, as well as HTTPS-Everywhere 5.2.8 cross-platform browser extension for encrypted communications.
