I can't see anything that would explain it in the [changelog for 11.0.10](https://blog.torproject.org/new-release-tor-browser-11010/) however, so I'm guessing it's a bug.Tor Browser 11.5Pier Angelo VendramePier Angelo Vendramehttps://gitlab.torproject.org/tpo/applications/tor-browser/-/issues/41059Bridge cards aren't displaying, and toggle themselves off2022-07-22T15:16:15ZninaBridge cards aren't displaying, and toggle themselves offMacOS Monterey + TB 11.5 My internet connection is not censored.

While updating articles I was testing the Connection Assist. And at some point I removed the bridges from the list and tried to add new ones obtained from the bot. And somehow now I don't see my bridges:

even if I push "show my bridges" button.
I tried
- Close TB and open it again (nothing changed),
- removing bridges and adding them anew - the same picture.
When I choose another option - like using built-in bridges - my manually added bridges are being deleted.
And one more thing - If I choose to use bridges, when I close the Connection assist tab and then visit it again - "Your current bridges" menu is switched off.Tor Browser 11.5Pier Angelo VendramePier Angelo Vendramehttps://gitlab.torproject.org/tpo/applications/tor-browser/-/issues/41055Icon fix from #40834 is missing in 11.5 stable2022-08-04T09:28:40ZdonutsIcon fix from #40834 is missing in 11.5 stableIt looks like the fix for the Internet status icon from https://gitlab.torproject.org/tpo/applications/tor-browser/-/issues/40834 is missing from 11.5 stable.

And as per usual my DMs and Email have been flooded with questions from censored users not knowing how to get back on the network. This means people still don't know they can use a bridge, or that there are default bridges provided, or that they can perform bridge discovery inside the Tor Browser.
One of the things I've always admired Tails for, is that all of their documentation is available offline inside Tails. We used to do a similar thing. In the old days, there was a short Tor Browser manual. A one page simple html that was served when someone would request TB via GetTor.
I think it wont hurt to load an offline HTML page in case connection fails, and users are confused on what to do next. In my experience, most users don't even know that there are other ways to connect to the Tor network when the direct connection fails.
Additionally, we should consider a scenario that I haven't seen covered by any of the help documents I've read so far and that is when a user has already been connecting to the Tor network directly, but after some time it fails and now they need a bridge.
I'm not sure which component would be the right one for this, considering it involves censorship circumvention, tor browser and tor support. Feel free to move it to the right bucket.Tor Browser 11.5donutsdonuts
