 AS OF 7/16/2012 :

 The only edits made to the original Tor Browser Bundle downloaded from the
 site were these:

 I changed the torcc file to only use Exit Nodes in Great Britain.

 I created a folder under FirefoxPortable/App/Firefox called "plugins" and
 dragged the files for Adobe flash player there. (flashplayer.xpt and
 NPSWF32_11_3_300_265.dll)

 Then, I ran the browser, changing the settings to allow Adobe
 flash/plugins. However, when I chose a site, such as BBC iPlayer, it
 recognized that I was "in the UK" and that I had Adobe flash player, it
 just needed me to enable Javascript. I did so using the NoScript button in
 the toolbar, but then the entire browser froze, stopped responding, and
 eventually crashed.

 On earlier versions of this software, this was no problem whatsoever and
 the scripts would easily enable. Now, enabling any scripts causes the
 program to crash.

 I have tried redownloading my older version of Tor from the archive and
 repeating these same steps, only to find that the scripts now cause the
 browser to crash in the old version too. Help greatly appreciated.
