Hi, My history goes back for more then a half year and i did not change anything in my settings. Do you mean yours only remember 7 days?

There is a add-on available to set a custum amount of days : https://addons.mozilla.org/nl/firefox/addon/expire-history-by-days/

Thanks, Tim, for the quick reply. My problem is that, when I click "Show all History", it gives me just 3 display choices: "Today", "Yesterday", and "Last 7 days". So, how do I view older history in the history library? The browser's history file goes back years: it shows web pages I viewed years ago when I search them individually in the "Search history" box in the history library.

Something very sick happened at Mozilla when they did this to History with no explanation and no clear remedy anywhere.
