Note: Some software, like Advanced SystemCare with Surfing Protection, can protect files in the Firefox profile folder against changes. If you have such software then check the settings or uninstall this software.

Firefox shows the "Use custom settings for history" selection as an indication that at least one of the history and cookie settings is not the default to make you aware that changes were made.

Seeing "(Never) Remember History" means that all history and cookie settings are set to the default value (all cookies are enabled and kept until they expire).

"Use custom settings for history" allows to access the current history and cookie settings for inspection and modification, but this setting doesn't make any changes to history and cookie settings. Only when all History settings are default then the custom settings are hidden and you see "Firefox will: (Never) Remember History".

  • "Never Remember History" means that Private Browsing is active and "Always use private browsing mode" gets a checkmark
