[Bug 647609] Re: gnash in Firefox not displaying flash content

Hi Christopher,

>From comment #6 it sounds like you cleared your http cookies via the
browser. I believe that doesn't clear the "Flash Cookies".

I think flash cookies have the extension .sol (Shared Objects Local?).
and you can list the flash cookies by using the command

$ soldumper -l.

Soldumper is part of the gnash-tools package. This should let you
confirm if clearing cookies via your browser is actually clearing the
flash cookies. Unfortunately I can't remember how to actually clear
flash cookies.

As a side note and slightly off topic, other plugins may implement their
own cookies too. Silverlight is one example. The folks at evercookie
http://samy.pl/evercookie/ use these various local persistence
mechanisms to make a piece of data that is very hard to remove.
