I don't know in which packages the flash is enabled, I didn't say that
flash is enabled on any package
I just mentioned that in some package I can find the plugin, through
"Tools->add on->plugin"  although it is disabled
but in some packages I can't find the plugin through "Tools->add on->plugin"
I tried windows 64bit, linux 32 bit and 64 bit

I have all my system installed with flash, but on linux 64bit machine,
flash plugin is in firefox but not in TBB browser.

thanks for the information. I don't mind that at the moment.
and  when viewing youtube, I  captured packets on the network interface, I
noticed that all traffic is through the Tor node
so it seems that flash doesn't bypass the proxy setting at all.
