Losing flash game saves when clearing cookies.

Ever since I updated my firefox to version 8.0.1, it clears my flash LSOs every time I clear my cookies. This is all well and good if I didn't play flash games on websites like kongregate.com. Unfortunately, this translates into me losing my flash game saves every time I clear my cookies. I make a regular habit of clearing all my recent history; cookies, cache, etc. This change is a destructive one for me, as I want to keep some of my flash LSOs while clearing out all my web cookies. Is there some sort of workaround, or better yet, will firefox ever make clearing flash LSOs a separate option instead of just clumping them in with "cookies"?

Don't use Clear Recent History to clear the cookies, but do that manually in the Cookie manager.
