The Internet is an essential tool for everyday tasks. Aside from common use, the option to browse the Internet privately is a desirable attribute. However, this can create a problem when private Internet sessions become hidden from computer forensic investigators in need of evidence. Our primary focus in this research is to discover residual artifacts from private and portable web browsing sessions. In addition, the artifacts must contain more than just file fragments and enough to establish an affirmative link between user and session. As social media applications such as Facebook become an integral part of our society, they are also becoming an important source of information in a digital (forensics) investigation. In this paper, we examine the potential to recover artifacts of forensic interest after three popular browsers, namely: Mozilla Firefox, Google Chrome and Internet Explorer, have been used to access Facebook. Findings from this research will hopefully contribute to a better understanding to mobile device and app forensics. Certain aspects of this topic have triggered many questions, but there have never been enough authoritative answers to follow. As a result, we propose a new methodology for analyzing private and portable web browsing artifacts. Our research will serve to be a significant resource for law enforcement, computer forensic investigators, and the digital forensics research community
