What kind of files would be written into flashdriver when using ff?

I've already disabled the session function. However, there's something still keep writing in my flash driver when I open new tab. My flash driver light shines and firefox stops for some time. Did I forget something? Can anyone tell me what kind of files would be written into the flash driver?

I found one posible is flash file(swf). When I load a page containing a flash, light shines and FF stops.

My ex:
right encoding
show image
super drag&go
all-in-one gestures
button pack
download statusbar
ie view
tab mix lite(already disabled session)

Watch out with IE View and IE Tab

Sometimes it saves all IE history to the flash drive.
The writes could be history or your cache.
Make sure both are turned off.
Download Statusbar should be fine cause I use it without trouble.

...

I believe IE View and IE Tab work fine so long as you don't redirect the userprofile path in PortableFirefox.ini (I use IE Tab and it works just fine). It's generally not advisible to do so anyway, because any external program--not just IE--launched by Firefox or an extension will inherit the redirected userprofile, even if said application isn't actually stored on the flash drive. Plus, you'll end up with a local Desktop: stuff saved on the "Desktop" will actually go into a folder on the USB key.

Anyone that's worried about the one pluginreg.dat file that's written to [userprofile]\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox is just being overly paranoid. Blum
