Yes, Mozilla is aware of this and is working with plugin vendors such as Adobe to get them to use newly created APIs and to assist in developing other needed APIs that allow Firefox to notify plugins that such objects need to be deleted (such as when a user enters private browsing mode or just wishes to clear all browsing history).
Now *here* is a related question: Does anybody know of a Firefox extension that will allow the *selective* clearing of browsing history, or management of history expiration? For instance, I *usually* want a nice long expiration on the history (for a while, I had it up at 180 or even 365 days), so that the history bar auto-completer would be able to help me find "that posting on boing-boing that started with 'potatoes'), etc. However, I'd like to on occasion nuke all the damned Amazon links that have accumulated (or even better, have them auto-evaporate after only 15 days or something). This ring any bells?
