Title:
Clearing privacy settings does not clear Flash cookies
Status in firefox package in Ubuntu:
Invalid
Bug description:
Binary package hint: firefox
When you clear cookies in Firefox it does not clear Flash cookies.
Sites are using this loophole to bypass users' privacy settings and
track visitors after their privacy settings are cleared.
It would be great if Firefox would clear Flash cookies as well as HTTP
cookies with the privacy settings.
I think this is a critical issue with the browser (and other browsers
also).
