This is a long shot...I am looking to recover my autocomplete history on the USPS website. I lost a tracking slip for a package, but I tracked it on the USPS website before I misplaced it. When I go to enter numbers for tracking on the site, it pulls up older tracking numbers, but not the one that I'm looking for. Is there a place where this information is stored?

Firefox keeps it's histories in files called history.dat, and formhistory.dat.

They're stored in: C:\Documents and Settings\WINDOWS USERNAME\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\PROFILE HASH STRING\

I did find that file. But how do you read them? I tried to open it and I have no program that can do so.

Thanks!

Sorry but you have also a formhistory.sqlite? See here Firefox profile data storage
