Since most Flash -- especially Flash that sets Flash cookies -- is found in advertisements, I also disabled AdBlock Plus. It tooks me many hours to find a Flash display that set a cookie. Finally, I found one in an advertisement. I then enabled BetterPrivacy, for which I have the setting to remove Flash cookies on launching SeaMonkey. It worked! -- David E.
