Thus spake Joe Btfsplk (joebtfsplk@xxxxxxx): > Someone said the problem of inaccurate notices from TBB that an update > was available was fixed.

The files indicate I'm indeed using v2.2.33-3 - which also > appears to be latest on Tor Project site. The process is driven by Torbutton, and works like this: 1. Download https://check.torproject.org/RecommendedTBBVersions 2. Compare each entry in that list against the about:config value torbrowser.version 3a. If we found a match in the list, load https://check.torproject.org/?lang=en-US&small=1&uptodate=1 3b. If we did not find a match in the list, load https://check.torproject.org/?lang=en-US&small=1&uptodate=0 3c. If there was a parse error or the download failed, load the default homepage, which should be https://check.torproject.org/?lang=en-US&small=1 In the case of 3c, there should be a Torbutton WARN message in Tools->Web Developer->Error Console that tells you the nature of the failure. Which check.tp.o URL is your TBB loading? What is the value of torbrowser.version? Is there anything in the Error Console? -- Mike Perry Mad Computer Scientist fscked.org evil labs
