Bug Description

Binary package hint: mozilla-firefox

Normally if you use firefox with libflash-mozplugin to playe online video like from youtube or video.google, firefox or libflash-mozplugin will store video to the /tmp/Flash* . This bracke system update or may bracke some other things like syslog or system start, if you watch long videos or if firefox crashes, on system with separate partitions for "/" and "/home"

I use firefox 3.0~b3+nobinon

At least for version 11 (but possibly froom 10.2 too), lash uses ~/.adobe and ~/.macromedia for its data
