Quick add here: |
| 73 |
The adobe flash settings go into the same file below ~/.macromedia |
| 74 |
which also holds a list of the sites you visited (and also the names |
| 75 |
of the videos you watched may be...). These list can be read next time |
| 76 |
when you use flash video. |
| 77 |
When deleting it (this can be done automagically with a firefox addon) |
| 78 |
you will get the unwanted hardware acceleration as the default. If you |
| 79 |
dont delete it...well, you can do with your data what you want, and |
| 80 |
may be others too... ;) |
