betterprivacy included in TBB deletes all Flash cookies from computer

For some reason, the better privacy extension is included in the tor browser bundle.  Curious, as the tor browser bundle does not, in fact, support nor allow adobe flash to be run.  However, better privacy seeks out your local flash directory, outside of the tor browser bundle directory structure, and annihilates all flash cookies and such located within.  While I can appreciate your need to eradicate all anti-anonymity technology from the face of the earth, it breaks many flash applications that are reliant, nay co-dependent, on those cookies.  Such as, all of my schoolwork is completed through flash applications.  While suffering the slings and arrows of oppression during school is bad enough, having my privacy software wipe my cookies without asking is of grave consequence.  Yes, the flash applications we use here at this private school in the deep mines of moria store your state in flash cookies on your registered laptop as received from the school.  

better privacy should be configured to clean out flash cookies inside tbb.  As this is not needed until tbb supports flash, better privacy should be removed from the bundle. 

cheers.
