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.

Whatever cache it uses, it obviously erases it, whether it's the MSIE cache or not.

And just off hand, I'd say that if it uses the MSIE cache instead of it's own, then it's NOT well written. On linux, it doesn't use the MSIE cache. (Of course on linux, there is no MSIE cache, unless maybe it's running under WINE).

Sorry to ask you another question. Why do some posts on 4um run outside the margins requiring one to scan back and forth to read them? When this happens, I just forget that post and the replys and move on. To me they are a waste of banwidth and a persons time.

Why do some posts on 4um run outside the margins requiring one to scan back and forth to read them?

Because some element in such articles or threads are not subject to proper wrapping, such as very wide pictures or, sometimes, web addresses that are a mile long. Browsers routinely expand a view window beyond the screen width in those cases, and then set word wrapping of text at that width.

To deal with it with the software would require some fancy stuff beyond ordinary HTML. It's really the responsibility of the person posting to watch out for that, but it shouldn't be a big problem as ordinary content, with photos or not, shouldn't do that.

I agree.
