cookies.sqlite-shm & cookies.sqlite-wal?
While Firefox 6 is running, there are two extra cookies files in the profile: cookies.sqlite-shm and cookies.sqlite-wal. These disappear when Firefox closes. What do they do?

Not related to your question, but...
You need to update some plug-ins:
- Plug-in check: https://www-trunk.stage.mozilla.com/en-US/plugincheck/
- Shockwave Flash (Adobe Flash or Flash): Updating Flash in Firefox
Thanks for the info. I guess I had better check for a newer Flash plugin. The linked page from your reference explained somewhat. What processes are sharing data? The -shm implies that data in memory is being shared between processes.
The link says:
- Shm files are Shared Memory files and seem to be used with the above. (the above is "Wal files http://www.sqlite.org/wal.html "Write-Ahead Logging"")

So the -shm file is created as a hex dump of the index in memory in case Firefox is aborted abnormally, so that it can pick up where it left off?
