New poster here, been browsing the boards for a while gathering info on how to use SR. Sorry to start a new thread with a newbie question!
I see when I start the Tor browser it tells me there's a new security update available. I click the link and it takes me to the usual torproject homepage.
Should I just be re downloading the Tor bundle from the homepage?
Awesome online community here I must say btw :)

Yes, download it. It can be a security issue if not done. This happens every couple of months so it's not unusual.

Yeah, keep it patched. I download the bundle updates from a regular Firefox browser because it's just too slow for TOR. A weird thing though, today's update set off my antivirus when I tried to open it. It's shitty Symantec endpoint and risk type "application heuristic". I installed anyway and no issues obviously.
