That is a very real possibility and quite the reason why I'm still
reading this thread. Nik, having the data in sqlite does not make it
any more secure than being in text files. I think that your issues is
the possibility that Firefox does not securely erase the data when you
tell it to, regardless of underlying technologies. Please confirm or
deny my allusion, so that we can help you devise a secure system that
will let you erase data such that forensics inspection will not easily
reveal anything. I'm thinking a small script that erases the sqlite
files with shred, and it could easily work on additional files as well
and then even erase itself.

I'd help a dog if he posted a question. That's the beauty of the
internet: we just don't care which posts are submitted by a dog.
