Seeing as simply deleting the data doesn't actually remove the data from your computer it can still be 'found'. Unless I have missed something... If there isn't, where are the cached images stored in Firefox on Mac OSX to manually secure delete? but is there a product out there that will ‘secure delete’ the cached images etc?

Websites you've entered in the address bar and History are two separate things. It doesn't have the ability to delete the website if you've entered it into the address bar, which you most likely have. So if you're trying to not get caught on something, chances are with this you're still going to, unless you manually delete it. I tested it out and found a bug straight away.
