Tails 7.2

Changes and updates

  • Update Tor Browser to 15.0.1.

    Tor Browser 15.0 is based on Firefox 140 and inherits from it several new features that are particularly useful if you use many tabs:

  • Update Thunderbird to 140.4.0.

  • Update the Linux kernel to 6.12.57.

  • Remove Root Console.

    To open a root console, you can execute the following command in a Console.

    sudo -i

  • Show Don't ask again notifications only after the clock has been synchronized.

Fixed problems

  • Disable connections that Thunderbird was making to telemetry services run by Mozilla. (#21275)
