How can I prevent someone using my laptop from deleting items from the history so I can get my website back when I am looking for it?

I allow other persons from my home to use my computer when I am not on but there are times when I go to my history to re-visit a site and it has been deleted. I would like to know how to prevent this from happening because I don't see how someone can go and delete my entire history without some sort of permission or password implemented, so please help.

You need to make sure that they do not use your Firefox profile folder.

Either create a (guest) Windows account for them or create an extra Firefox profile for them that they can start with a desktop shortcut. You may want to hide your own start shortcut if they still use your profile.
