[Tails News] Tails 7.10

# [Tails 7.10](https://tails.net/news/version_7.10/)

# New features

## New shutdown procedure

Tails now uses the standard shutdown procedure from GNOME.

The [standard
shutdown](https://tails.net/doc/first_steps/shutdown/index.en.html) procedure
is a bit slower, but better prevents data loss.

For example, the **Power Off** confirmation dialog informs you if an
application needs to be closed or an open document needs to be saved before
shutting down.

Even without confirming or saving the open documents, Tails will shut down
after 60 seconds.

You can still use the faster [emergency
shutdown](https://tails.net/doc/first_steps/shutdown/index.en.html#emergency)
as before.

## _Celluloid_ video player

We replaced _GNOME Videos_ with _Celluloid_ , a more modern and reliable video
player.

For added security, _Celluloid_ cannot access the network. You can either:

* Open online videos, like MP4 and AVI files, in _Tor Browser_.
* Open online streaming addresses, like IPTV and HLS addresses, in _VLC_ , installed as [additional software](https://tails.net/doc/persistent_storage/additional_software/index.en.html).

_Celluloid_ doesn't work on some computer from 2011 or earlier.

You can use _VLC_ instead, installed as [additional
software](https://tails.net/doc/persistent_storage/additional_software/index.en.html).

# Changes and updates

* Update _Tor Browser_ to [15.0.19](https://blog.torproject.org/new-release-tor-browser-15019/).

* Update some firmware packages. This improves support for newer hardware: graphics, Wi-Fi, and so on.

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