I am trying to see the cookies file and or browsing history file on the hard drive as my son has deleted the browsing history. I read a few articles that there is a program that will convert the sqlite files to a readable format. Any ideas? I beleive he is doing things a 12 year old should not be viewing. thanks

You should be able to view it with this add-on: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/sqlite-manager/

If the history had been deleted you will not be able to view using an sqlite viewer.
