Enabling Flash in Tor Browser

I'll keep this short and simple. To access websites blocked by your internet provider, you can use Tor Browser. (You can download it and find related information on that link.)

One problem: Flash does not work with it. So, after a bit of browsing, here's one way I found to enable it (please note that Tor Browser is based on Firefox, play around a little and you'll have no problem following the steps below):

  • Navigate to about:config
  • Set "plugin.scan.plid.all" to true.
  • Right Click Tor Button.
    • Preferences → Security Settings → Uncheck "Disable Plugins during Tor usage"
  • Right Click NoScript.
    • Embeddings → Forbid Adobe Flash
  • Restart. Voila! (This will use the local version of Flash available.)

Thanks to ssbtoday of the Bitcoin Forum and use it wisely. ;D
