This release fixes the security vulnerability[1][2] in the JavaScript engine of Firefox and Tor Browser announced on May 24.

This release was delayed from May 31 to June 5 because of a delay in the release of Tor Browser 11.0.14.

This is a very important release - please do not use version 5.0 or previous versions.
