Tor Browser 12.0.2 is now available from the Tor Browser download page and also from our distribution directory.
This release updates Firefox to 102.7, including bug fixes, stability improvements and important security updates. There were no Android-specific security updates to backport from the Firefox 109 release.
We use this opportunity to update various components of Tor Browser as well:
- tor 0.4.7.13
- NoScript 11.4.14
- go 1.19.5
We would like to thank user ryotak for identifying a script blocking bypass on local file:// resources.

If you find a bug or have a suggestion for how we could improve this release, please let us know.
