Recover Firefox web search history with history set to 0 days

| Hi,
A friend of mine had a couple of websites open with Firefox (on Windows
XP Home) which he
had found after a lot of time and effort. I accidentally closed the
browser windows and he could not recall which sites they were. He had
Firefox history set at 0 days so there is no obvious way to find out
which websites he was viewing.
Can anyone suggest how I can recover this information? Are there
Windows files that I can look into? Is there a way to do this in
Firefox or Google Desktop? I downloaded Google Desktop AFTER the
"accident" so I am not sure whether it will be able to find anything.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

| Thanks. I did that. However, it only shows 35 entries and since I have
used it several times (>100) after that trying to find the website, its
not within that.
Are there any tools that can do some deeper investigation?
Also, I have the Norton Internet Firewall installed. Any idea whether
the firewall would track IP addresses that the browser accesses?
Thanks
