prevent users from deleting history
Hi Team,
Is there any way in which we can prevent a Firefox browser user to delete the urls that they have visited from the history in the applications menu?
I shall look forward to your response
Thank you
Sincere regards,

So what is this in regards to as well that your asking this? If users can go to site they can delete their history as well.
You can't prevent users from deleting history as there are a lot of ways to delete the history (this includes "Forget About This Site" that show under Delete and pressing keyboard Delete) and there is also PB mode that doesn't save history at all. You would have to keep a log at the OS level to catch every visit including with using the portable Firefox version.
The reason I addressed this question was to monitor employees visiting urls that they shouldn’t be in work hours
With regards to the the inability of locking deleting of history urls, I would say this is a big drawback on using firefox vs chrome as one can block deleting of history urls in Chrome by adding a key to the registry
Thank you for the responses
