OK, but that's completely different than what I'm doing or have
experienced. I guess... haven't been able to pin down exactly what
causes the flash files to start.
*Maybe if I could save a log* of which sites were visited w/ timestamps
& compare that w/ starting times of the flash files, I would know which
site I was on.
At the moment, I'm not sure if I have anything that'll log even IP
addresses w/ time stamps.
When I TRY to catch it - go to sites w/ Flash. Only blank screens load
saying, "Flash is not installed. Please download it so we may sniff
your system."
Then I've tried clicking or R clicking on the area where the player
screen would be (but NOT on download Flash, nor on any play button - if
one existed).
But I can't make the flash files start when I'm watching for them.

No, the 2 flash executables are definitely listed as descendants under
the Tor Browser process. Process Explorer GUI / its tree & icons shown
are crystal clear on that.
In fact, a COUPLE of times when I was watching the 2 files, then at same
time closed Tor Browser, the files immediately disappeared. Seemingly
proof they were running as part of the Tor Browser (or Tor) process.
BTW, how do you pronounce your name? Or maybe there's no translation
into human speech? Like Dolphins vocalizations can't be understood by
humans? :D
