So my husband says he was reading a great article on Firefox, then he deleted the app now he can’t find said story. Can history be seen after the app is deleted and reinstalled?

Hi

I am sorry, but I do not believe that is the case. When the app is removed it will not be possible to recover the browsing history.

If he remembers any details of the story, I might be able to help track it down.

Thanks, Paul! It was about AOC. She was giving her side of the story as far as what happened when she was getting escorted by the police officer. Reports are saying she was acting like she was arrested, but my husband saw an article that kind of refuted that.

A search engine search for say AOC escorted by police gives plenty of results. If you remember the site the article was one, then that should narrow down which article it was likely significantly.
