Interesting.  That doesn't match my experience at all, but certainly 
looks like a real issue.  I assume this is Firefox 3.5.x?  Do you think 
you can send me the list of sites loaded during that session?  Is there 
a bug filed?

Some Flash versions leak like a sieves, so "maybe", depending on what 
you're doing, which exact plug-in versions you're using, which Firefox 
version you're using, etc...
