Is it possible for the history shown to be false or corrupted in some way?

I recently turned on the history option on my young son's ipod. I have enabled parental controls on the ipod and I had disabled safari, but he downloaded the Mozilla Firefox app and has been using it. After only a short time after activating the history option, I checked the history and was horrified at what I saw. The history is full of porn sites. I confronted him with the history and he swears that he has not searched for at any of the sites listed. The sheer number of sites listed makes me think that he might be telling the truth and maybe there is some malicious virus at play here ? Or perhaps he is lying to me. It would be helpful to know if anyone else has come across this issue.

I've never come across such a thing.

One possibility is that he's using a Firefox account, and the browsing history is synced to his desktop.
