I'm using Mozilla FireFox as my main browser. As a sort of paranoid safety measure, I usually clear the history, cookies, and cache of the browser at the end of each day. Unfortunately, I need access to a page I visited about 6 days ago. I am doubtful as to whether this is possible, but is there a deeper record that I can access to see a page that I've visited?

Specifically, I need to access a confirmation page for an application that sent online, which the receiving end claims to have not received. If actual page-viewing is not possible, is there maybe a cookie or data file sent out from my computer that I could access?

Thank you so much in advance for your help,

sorry i forgot some information that may be useful. I am running Windows XP on a computer that I built.

probably won't help, but open Firefox and hit CTRL+H. Any history that happens to be saved will appear on the left side of your screen. If we were dealing with Internet Explorer, then we could most likely retrieve this info, but with Firefox, once it's gone, it looks as if the stuff is really gone. This would be a fine question for Paul Komski, as he is a master of retrieving stuff that most people think is not retrievable. By any chance did you create a Ghost image of your computer exactly 6 days ago that you could restore?...:)
