I returned home to find someone had deleted my entire browser history and site preferences. Is there any possible way to restore this? I have performed a system restore and it did not restore the history.

Windows 7 OS Intel

Sorry, if the system restore didn't work that data is gone.

You can check if there is a previous version of the places.sqlite file available.
