I have a website tracker/blocker on my system through my av program but it won't track/block private browsing visits. I would also like to have the history button to have a password option so that my daughter can't erase her history. Also can you password option the options tab and make an option to record every username and password instead of just offering the choice

Private Browsing mode only means that Firefox doesn't store data on disk. Other (security) programs and web servers won't notice the difference, so that security software should still track all traffic.

You need to use external monitor software that operates at the OS level.
