Is not necessary. This is probably a plugin or extension that is requesting
this and is dangerous. I commented on your bug Antonio.
I saw this same type of thing happening when I had an older flash library in
~/.mozilla (I migrate my home, this was a 2005 .so flash lib that somehow just
managed to start getting loaded that I had not been using in years). I cannot
find where the discussion of that problem was, I thought it was in bz but don't
see it now and removing that old lib was suggested to me.
