Firefox Investigation

You can find Firefox profile databases in

• Linux

  /home/$USER/.mozilla/firefox/[PROFILE]
  

• Windows

  C:\Users\%USERNAME%\[PROFILE]
  

In above directories, there are many SQLite database files, so let's to import these databases and see what we get

require 'sqlite3'

# Browser history 
db = SQLite3::Database.new "places.sqlite"

# List all tables 
db.execute  "SELECT * FROM sqlite_master where type='table'"

# List all visited URLs (History)
db.execute  "SELECT url FROM moz_places"
# List all bookmarks
db.execute  "SELECT title FROM moz_bookmarks"

# List all Cookies
db = SQLite3::Database.new "cookies.sqlite"
db.execute  "SELECT baseDomain, name, host, path, value FROM moz_cookies"

# List all form history
db = SQLite3::Database.new "formhistory.sqlite"
db.execute  "SELECT fieldname, value FROM moz_formhistory"
