Looks like Tor Browser 11.0.4-11.0.6 phoning home bug still hasn't been fully fixed - https://gitlab.torproject.org/tpo/applications/tor-browser/-...

When I start Tor Browser 11.5.5, it tries to connect to

- content-signature-2.cdn.mozilla.net or

- content-signature-chains.prod.autograph.services.mozaws.net

and, when allowed, also results in a connection to 140.187.102.34.bc.googleusercontent.com (a Google site?).

(I figured it has something to do with https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b2kPo8YdLTw but it's still very irritating that there is no option to control and disable this).

...

Also, why is app.normandy.enabled not set to false by default? (Why the hell would one want to allow Mozilla to run experiments on their browser or allow them to change your preferences silently, without your knowledge, when they have now started bundling adware inside their browser!?)

Why does Tor Browser only have an en-US distribution - https://dist.torproject.org/torbrowser/11.5.5/ - and not the other english variants ( https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/language-tools/ )?

Tor Browser 11.5.5 backports the following security updates from Firefox ESR 102.4 to to Firefox ESR 91.13 on Windows, macOS and Linux ...

Why doesn't Tor Browser use Firefox 102.4 ESR itself?
