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.
