Greetings fellow travelers!
I am pleased to find a place to post. Not being a full member yet I was unable to post this reply in another area where it belonged. Maybe a mod can move it?
This information is for a post labeled:
Is TOR 8.0 broken and insecure?Reading this post from 'Elrik' I had run into similarities and wanted to share what I found.
When I personally upgraded to TOR 8x I had a couple of the same issues that others here had so I wanted to share what I found.
1. The Default settings have changed. So if your use to 'Out of the Box' default settings to work the same as in previous version, they don't. It may appear No-Script is not working do to the fact Java is NOT automatically disabled in Default mode out of the box. Please reference:

I had the same concern. If you look to the right of where this Icon was, to the address bar you will notice the first thing in this bar will be the letter 'i' in a circle. This is the new link for the process you are mentioning.
Personal Note:
As with anything else, Knowledge is best when researched for yourself. Anyone serious about there Security who use Tor should
Always read the New Release notes on updates and versions they run and watch the progression of the
Tor Project here.Also
Never run 'Out of the Box' settings or think your settings will carry over with updates. Bugs happen, it's part of progression and learning while they code as in anything else.
Hope this little bit helps
