[Bug 162045] Flash plugin records visited web sites

[Jennifer]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: flashplugin-nonfree

I have all the privacy settings turned on in firefox.  Imagine my
surprise when I did a search through my home directory and found many
subdirectories containing the names of URL's I had visited.  They are
all under a subdirectory called ".macromedia".  This information is
maintained across multiple invocations of firefox.  The only way to get
rid of this recording process is to create a soft link such as.

rm -rf .macromedia
ln -s /dev/null .macromedia

Flash continues to work with this soft link in place, making me wonder
the original intent for this subdirectory in the first place.
