Firefox is NOT! saving the history. Want to DISABLE "delete/clear history" When it does save it, it does NOT save it for longer than 7 days. All settings are correct for saving 999days.

Hi billsktt, Firefox does not delete old history based on days, it is based on storage size. Usually Firefox will retain a lot (often more than a year), but that number may be reduced based on disk space for some users.

If your history is disappearing quickly, that might be because an add-on or clean-up program is removing the data. Do you notice a pattern to when it is deleted?
