I have a Facebook account that was successfully registered from behind Tor (not using my real name, of course). I am unable to post comments on sites that use the Facebook social plugin. There is no error message returned. I am able to login to Facebook, and the comment appears on my screen as having been posted, but it isn't visible to others. I have tried using one other Facebook account, but get the same results. This has been a problem with all the Tor Browser Bundle versions that I have used. I have tried disabling HTTPS Everywhere and NoScript, but it still doesn't work.

Has anyone been able to overcome this problem? Are there hidden settings in the browser that I need to change that would permit my posts to go through?

I think website by itself is configured to prevent access with javascript disabled or with Tor IP addresses. some sites believes that Tor IPs are spam and admin block it. Even if you disable NoScript, again, it depends on the admin of website that you visit or whoever created this facebook plugin. You should ask them to see if it is a bug and to change such behavior of plugin or website. I had the same problem with disqus, so, I had to use PC in the library if I wanted to comment, in that way, they couldn't see my personal IP address. But I don't think this question has anything to do with Tor, it has to be with facebook plugin or websites you visit.
