The rapid development of technology has made people increasingly exchange information and make transactions through social media. One of the social media sites that can be used is Instagram. The use of the Instagram application can have a positive or negative impact. The number of Instagram users makes this application vulnerable to abuse, such as online scams among Instagram users. This research aims to obtain digital evidence of online shop fraud cases on Instagram that run on the Mozilla Firefox web browser and apply web forensics to Instagram services. The research object that will be discussed in this research is the Instagram application, which runs on the Mozilla Firefox web browser platform. This research implements the investigation process using the National Institute of Justice method. The National Institute of Justice method has five stages of research: preparation, collection, examination, analysis, and reporting. The tools used in this research are FTK Imager, Browser History Examiner, and HXD. The results of this research obtained results in the form of one username and one password used by the perpetrator to log into his Instagram account, the date and time of accessing Instagram, the web browser used, the cache image in the form of two images or posts that have been deleted by the perpetrator, 21 conversations, and one upload that has been deleted by the perpetrator.
