Do I need to re-download in order to update to Tor Browser 12.5.1 or will the 12.5 version I have update on its own?

Tor Browser will prompt you to update the software once a new version has been released: the main menu (≡) will display a green circle with an upwards facing arrow in it, and you may see a written update indicator when Tor Browser opens.

UPDATING TOR BROWSER AUTOMATICALLY

When you are prompted to update Tor Browser, click on the main menu (≡), then select “Update available - restart now”.

Wait for the update to download and install, then Tor Browser will restart itself. You will now be running the latest version.
