Tor Browser 4.0 Released, Install it in Ubuntu 14.04

Tor Browser 4.0 has been released recently with important security updates to Firefox and SSLv3 disabled due to the POODLE attack.



The first release of the 4.0 series is available from the Tor Browser Project page and also from our distribution directory.


This release features important security updates to Firefox. Additionally, due to the POODLE attack, we have also disabled SSLv3 in this release.
The primary user-facing change since the 3.6 series is the transition to Firefox 31-ESR.
More importantly for censored users who were using 3.6, the 4.0 series also features the addition of three versions of the meek pluggable transport.
