Is there a way to keep Firefox History from being deleted?

wouldn't it be easier to backup the history.dat file in your profile folder on a regular basis (e.g. all 15 mins.)? there are several programs, which can do that & run silently in the background... then you don't need to change the firefox-interface (wouldn't that be very obvious?!) and it wouldn't mind if your kids delete the history - just use a backed-up file before they've done it and restore it back to the profile folder

I dont think they even knew about going into options to delete anything, so I added the lines of code to remove the Clear Private Data from the Privacy tab. The entire lower section is gone, its sweet! The only way to view the history other than looking at the history in the file menu is to do Ctrl+H, but they dont know that! ; )
I agree with madperson about removing things from FF would be slightly obvious. Thats why I hoped for a way to just stop the ability to manually delete any of the history items.

So Pyscho did you get what you were looking for?
I know I am late to this thread but unluckily for your kids there wasn't a private browsing mode in Firefox back then although one can easily turn off history via options.

Likm,
I should think that after 5 + years, that the OP or ? would not be monitoring this thread or be interested anymore.
Locking due to very old age.
