How can I keep firefox from deleting my history every few days?

It seems like every day, I can only check the present day's history, and the previous day's history. I tried deleting that file (I forgot the name of it) in the firefox folder that manages the memory, only for the problem to remain. I also tried setting the amount of days for which history is kept again to around 60, and that didn't work. Is there anything I can do?

You may have cleanup software that resets the history if it happens regularly every two days. --- You can look at these prefs on the about:config page. http://kb.mozillazine.org/browser.history_expire_days (180) (also affects saved form data) http://kb.mozillazine.org/browser.history_expire_days_min (90)

To open the about:config page, type about:config in the location (address) bar and press the Enter key, just like you type the url of a website to open a website. If you see a warning then you can confirm that you want to access that page.
