I've seen several people's Firefox browsers, where when you click on the History Drop-Down Menu at the top, you get a very long list, 40-50 results or more if the screen size allows.

For some reason on my 27" iMac, I just get 10 results, forcing me to open the Show All History window if I want to see a page I had opened even just a half-hour ago...kind of a pain. Where can I go to set the number of History results. I'm not seeing anything in the preferences?

The History drop down on the menu bar always has shown a maximum of 10 entries.
Only the tab history list of the current tab that open if you hold down the left mouse button on the Back button on the Navigation Toolbar can show a longer list.
You can see all history in the Library and in the sidebar (View > Sidebar > History; Cmd+H)
