Today i found following workaround:- quit safari- change settings of the flash player in the system preferences- in finder menu -> "Go" -> "Go to folder..." -> "~/Library/Preferences/Macromedia/Flash Player/macromedia.com/support/flashplayer/"- right click on Folder "sys" -> "Get Info"- In the info window change the Permissions of your user from "Read & Write" to "Read only"- close info windowNow you can "clear history" without reseting flash player - settings.Happy new year from austria !
