hi every one. ^__^ this is the first time I am posting here so if I make a mistake please forgive me. I have question and I hope you can help me to find the answer.

my system OS is windows XP professional x64 edition and the browser which I'm using is Firefox 3.5
I have made the privacy option in a way it deletes all the history and cookies after I close Firefox. ( I don't use Firefox in the private surfing style, it keeps data as long as I keep the browser open) I know there might be no chance for recovering any deleted data like this but right now I am looking desperately for the address of a site that I have missed a few days ago and I am really confused, is it possible to recover the sites that I have visited during this past week once again? although I have set the privacy option in my browser to delete all the data after I close it.

thanks so much for your help and time in advance

Hi Firefox user, Welcome to the Bleeping Computer help forums.

Sorry to hear about your trouble. The short, and bitter sweet answer to your question... I'm afraid is :thumbsup: "Nope." To see what I mean just click on Tools, then select Clear Recent History and then read the warning that pops up Boo.

Have you tried Googling the name of the site that you lost, or even parts of the name to see if you get any hits?
