    I found out about this from: http://www.raymond.cc/blog/archives/2011/04/01/hidden-list-of-visited-websites-by-flash-player/
    This is interesting. I have CCleaner installed along with the CCenhancer. I also have Better Privacy installed in Firefox and have the following settings and it still does not clear the flash player history. You can view your flash player history by clicking here:

    http://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/settings_manager07.html



    UPDATE: I was wrong I found checking "Also delete Flashplayer Default cookie." takes care of this issue. But CCleaner does not.

    Try using these settings in Better Privacy and see if that takes care of it:

    BetterPrivacy 1.49 no longer shows the "DOM Storage" cleaning option. Are you on a previous version, Caspian?

    It says that I am using 1.49 and that it is up to date. So I don't know.

    So this disappearance of the DOM option is a problem with Firefox 4? I did not upgrade to firefox 4 because it is not yet compatible with some of my addons.

    the macromedia site does not contain it. they write back constantly.
    I set it up in comodo d+ as a protected dir appdata/roaming/adobe and macromedia then delete the nsi and another protected com port which has nothing to do with local win 7 x64 and they never get written to my disk and I never have to remenber to delete them.
    there should be a law against it.
