 User's could still wonder why flash doesn't work. Google that up a bit.
 Then go to Tools -> Add-Ons -> activate Flash and shoot their own feet. I
 mean, for a Tor newbie it's non-obvious, that flash can leak IP.

 I think the right answer is to block flash, if the option "Tor Button ->
 Preferences -> Security Settings -> Disable Browser Plugins (such as
 Flash)" is checked. When users remove that one, they at obviously know
 about the risk.
