This file also contains a list of domain names that has been visited and that use Flash. You can check it yourself by running

strings ~/.macromedia/Flash_Player/macromedia.com/support/flashplayer/sys/settings.sol

So some people want to delete this file.

The user has several options, including:

1. Not use the Adobe Flash cleaner
2. Use the whitelist functionality through the Preferences menu
3. Edit flash.xml to white-list just this file using the old nregex filter or new nwholeregex filter
