Comment (by gk):

 Oh, it might even be adhering to it, depending on what is faster, Flash or
 PBM:
 {{{
 Upon creation, a Flash Player instance initializes to the current browsing
 mode of the browser. If the browser is in private browsing mode when the
 Flash Player instance is created, then that particular instance will
 forever be in private browsing mode. Likewise, if the browser is in normal
 browsing mode when the Flash Player instance is created, then that
 particular instance will forever be in normal browsing mode (private
 browsing is turned off).
