 > '''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...


 assuming i used this way above...am i going to stay hidden (about my
 IP)??? or i am going to clear my real IP....
