Mozilla can only tell you what they do. "Flash cookies" are stored by Adobe Flash in 2 subdirectories in your home directory. I.e. .adobe and .macromedia (Note the leading dot). In the past, I used to... rm -rf ~/.adobe ~/.macromedia touch ~/.adobe touch ~/.macromedia This would create zero-byte files, and Flash could not create subdirectories with the same name. I ran into 1 or 2 sites that refused to work if I did this. I don't have Flash on my main desktop anymore, so no more worry about it. "Supercookies" are additional data added to your HTTP headers by your ISP after it leaves your computer, and Firefox can't do anything about it. https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2014/11/verizon-x-uidh -- Walter Dnes <waltd...@waltdnes.org> I don't run "desktop environments"; I run useful applications
