I supervise the macs for a club and our policy is no nudity (porno,) lately we have been having a lot of trouble with that and in trying to track the culprits, they have started deleting the history. how can I prevent them viewing porno and /or prevent them from erasing the history? this has become a huge issue, we even have one person who has ended up in jail because of this.

The Public Fox add-on may be of use, it allows you to lock down Firefox. See the attached image for more details.

You can't really prevent people from erasing the history. You will have to install a router with a (password protected) logging feature and reroute all computers through that router.

You posted with a Firefox 2.0.0.20 version, so I assume that the computer run an older Mac OS X 10.3.9 or earlier version.
Are all computers old Macs that still have a Mac OS X 10.3.x or lower?
