 I downloaded the latest version of the Tor Browser Bundle "tor-
 browser-2.3.25-13_en-US.exe" and installed it.  I went to the page:

 http://rethink911.org/news/new-poll-finds-most-americans-open-to-
 alternative-911-theories/#pagecontent

 and was surprised to see a YouTube video that looked live on the page.  I
 was even more surprised to see it play when I clicked it.  I double-
 checked that "Disable Browser Plugins (such as Flash)" was checked.  By
 contrast, going to YouTube itself and clicking on a video correctly
 resulted in a video that would not play.  I would love to be able to play
 Flash videos with some security; but if that is not possible, I would
 rather have them disabled.
