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.
