Mozilla can only tell you what they do. "Flash cookies" are stored by |
| 8 |
Adobe Flash in 2 subdirectories in your home directory. I.e. .adobe and |
| 9 |
.macromedia (Note the leading dot). In the past, I used to... |
| 10 |
|
| 11 |
rm -rf ~/.adobe ~/.macromedia |
| 12 |
touch ~/.adobe |
| 13 |
touch ~/.macromedia |
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
This would create zero-byte files, and Flash could not create |
| 16 |
subdirectories with the same name. I ran into 1 or 2 sites that refused |
| 17 |
to work if I did this. I don't have Flash on my main desktop anymore, |
| 18 |
so no more worry about it. |

"Supercookies" are additional data added to your HTTP headers by your |
| 21 |
ISP after it leaves your computer, and Firefox can't do anything about it. |
