In criminal investigations, the digital evidence extracted from social media may provide exceptional support. Reviewing the history or cache of the web browser may provide a valuable insight into the activity of the suspect. The growing popularity of Internet video streaming creates a risk of this technology misuse. There are a few published research on video reconstruction forensics on the Chrome browser. There is a difference in the methods applied to reconstruct cached video on Chrome from the methods applied to Firefox or any browser. Our primary focus in this research is to examine the forensic procedures required to reconstruct cached video stream data using Twitter and YouTube on the Firefox browser. Some work has been done to reconstruct a cached video on the Chrome browser, but we need more work on the rest of the browsers, most notably the Firefox browser used in this research. Both examination strategies and contemplations displayed are approved and suitable for the forensic study of various streaming platforms as well as the web browser caches.
