I have reason to believe that my 16 y.o. son is looking at porn on his laptop. However, he knows how to go to the history tool bar and delete his browsing history. Is there another way that I can look at the browsing history?

I don't, but I'm guessing Neil might.

If firefox is well written, then it shouldn't be possible to retrieve the history after the history is purged.

Countermeasures would be installing some kind of spyware. A simple one would just copy the browser cache every 5 mins to some alternate place where it wouldn't get purged by firefox.

Good luck raising a teen.

Firefox IS well written; still it uses the IE internet cache. So to answer F.A. Hayek Fan's original question, the answer is ABSOLUTELY YES, assuming the IE Internet cache is not also erased.

Reading the IE Internet cache requires a viewer, though.

Very similar to what I told him privately.
