Hi, I wonder if there is a way to disable the feature that let an user delete history entries from history window.

In our office we use firefox as default browser, and as many offices there are web filter rules, but some people still get the ability to bypass those rules and get into web that are supposed to be blocked.

We also use third party extensions to disable "Clean history function" from History menu, but some tricky users can still delete history right from History window. They just go to: Show all History → Navigate to "today", "yesterday" or any option and hits the Spr key, history was deleted...

So, my question is if there is an option or a way to disable that feature.

Thanks in advance!

No, that is not possible. You would have to install software like Wireshark that keeps a record of all connection data to achieve this. There are lots of ways that experienced users can use to clear personal data and there is no way to block all of them. Deleting places.sqlite in the Firefox profile folder will always delete all history and users need write access to this folder. There is also Private Browsing mode where no session data is stored at all.

You can also consider to install a PAC file to only allow some specific connections and block popular websites.
