 '''I FOUND A SOLUTION: WORKS WITH BOTH VIDALIA BUNDLE AND TORBUTTON '''
 I was recently researching how to resolve this problem, until i tried some
 methods and this worked with me, along with many other cases::
 (1) Download adobe flash player from this link:
 http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/get/flashplayer/xpi/current/flashplayer-
 win.xpi by right-clicking the link and choosing 'Save Target As'
 (2) Use WinRAR or any archiving utility to extract EVERYTHING in the
 archive into the directories (Tor
 Browser\FirefoxPortable\App\Firefox\plugins) and (C:\Tor
 Browser\FirefoxPortable\App\DefaultData\plugins)'''' in case of Vidalia
 Bundle.
 (3)(This step (3) resolves the problem for both Vidalia and TorButton, if
 you use TorButton then start here if you after you've installed flash
 player, not before that)
 Open your Firefox Browser and right click the TorButton and choose
 Preferences>Secuirty Settings>Dynamic Content and uncheck "''Disable
 plugins during Tor usage''" .
 (4)Click Ok and restart Firefox. Visit youtube and watch a video to see
 for yourself :D let me know if it doesnt work XD Good Luck...
