I just installed Better Privacy 1.48.3 for one of my profiles. I set it to clear Flash cookies on startup instead of shutdown. Since Flash cookies are all stored in one directory without regard for profiles (at least under Windows XP with only one user) and since the profile where it is installed is the one I usually use when starting SeaMonkey, I don't think I need this extension in my other profiles. I will monitor the situation to see if my conjecture is correct. -- David E.
