LSO's
I am very new to linux and when using windows and firefox i had a addon called privacy blocker that removed any LSO's (locally stored objects, like cookies but can hold more data) do they have anything that does this for linux? without having an addon in firefox? Or is it even needed? Thanks in advance for any comments.

It just deletes your cookies I think? It will be the same for Linux and Windows and Mac and everywhere you run firefox. If you want to go private, from firefox 3.5, "Private Browsin" was introduced. It will not keep track of your browsing history while you are using that mode. Hope this helps.

You mean manually you want to delete your cookies as you would in windows?
Tools -> Clear Recent History
Flash LSOs can be found in your home directory.
~/.macromedia
You can delete them from there or use this addon.
