Re: [tor-talk] Help with Tor and Flash Player plugin struggle

[esolve esolve <esolvepolito@xxxxxxxxx>]

lunch your normal FireFox then set its Socks section of proxy settings
to 127.0.0.1 port 9050
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
after setting this, why my firefox can only allow https traffic?
are there any ways to make it allow non-https traffic?
thanks!
