We apologize for all the inconvenience this caused. We are once again able to code-sign our executable Windows installer, so new installations on the Windows platform no longer need to perform a build-to-build update from an older version. If you find any issues, please report them on our gitlab or on the Tor Project forum. This should be the last alpha in the 12.5 series, so this release should be considered a release candidate for 12.5.0 which will be released in the coming weeks. If you would like to contribute, our issue tracker can be found here. We would like to thank volunteer contributor cypherpunks1 for their fixes for tor-browser#33298, tor-browser#41792, and tor-browser#41785.

We also backported the Android-specific security updates from Firefox 114. This release updates Firefox to 102.12.0esr, including bug fixes, stability improvements and important security updates.

Tor Browser 12.5a7 is now available from the Tor Browser download page and also from our distribution directory.
