I don't want flash cookies deleted with the rest of the cookies.

Either an update with firefox or adobe flash player now couples flash cookies with the rest. I like having my internet related cookies clear upon closing the browser to help save space and destroy anything malicious, but don't want to have my flash game data get cleared in the process. I've checked the security tab in options, but there doesn't seem to be a way to specify for flash cookies to remain unharmed; it's either delete all cookies or delete no cookies. Is there a way to have my cookie and eat it too?

Chosen solution

Let cookies expire when you close Firefox instead of using Delete browsing, search and download history on Firefox.

A little counter-intuitive, but it seems to have done the trick
