Hi Joe

You asked: I think there are two points to your question.

1) Old restore points tend to get automatically deleted after a while, I know I have tried to restore to a past point and it has not worked. If someone has a more technically sound explanation then please let me know as well.

2) Restore points restore "settings" not data, when data is deleted, for all intent and purposes, it's gone unless you have a special utility that restores deleted data.

However, I have personally not heard of, or looked for, utilities that can restore accidentally deleted browser histories. In my experience most people want to delete their browser histories, simply because it can be used by "certain external parties" to track your Internet usage.

If you still want to restore your Firefox history then I would suggest you check out the Firefox add-on site, you may find something there.
