# [Tails 7.2](https://tails.net/news/version_7.2/)

# Changes and updates

  * Update _Tor Browser_ to 
[15.0.1](https://blog.torproject.org/new-release-tor-browser-1501).

_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:

    * [Vertical 
tabs](https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/use-sidebar-access-tools-and-vertical-tabs)
    * [Tab groups](https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/tab-groups)
    * [New address bar](https://blog.mozilla.org/en/firefox/address-bar/) with 
improved search
  * Update _Thunderbird_ to 
[140.4.0](https://www.thunderbird.net/en-US/thunderbird/140.4.0esr/releasenotes/).

  * 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](https://gitlab.tails.boum.org/tails/tails/-/issues/21275))

[changelog](https://gitlab.tails.boum.org/tails/tails/-/blob/master/debian/changelog).
