My kids are smart...they delete the history so I am unable to tell where they have been. I wish to disable the history delete button as well as prevent private browsing. How do I do this??? HELP Please break this down to very simple terms. I wish to do this, but am not a techy!

You can hide menu items but it is easy to bypass it. For example they can create a new profile that then not have any of the restrictions that you set up. A better option may be to use a third-party parental control program that can be used to filter the sites based on criteria you set up, and also provide an independent log of sites visited that is not deleted when the Firefox list is deleted. One program you can use is the free K9 web protection available from http://www.k9webprotection.com/
