How do I save my history settings after I have changed them?
After I Change the settings and close the browser it has changed back once I reopen the browser. I am attempting to use the custom privacy settings but after I close the window it changes back to the original settings.

Hi !
Would you take a look at the article 'How to fix preferences
that won't save' :

Hi JAMESGUFFEY, could you describe the setting(s) you are customizing?
When you go to Options > Privacy, Firefox starts from one of three views, based on what specific settings you have:
- Firefox will: Remember history - default setting
- Firefox will: Never remember history - automatic private browsing mode
- Firefox will: Use custom settings for history - if you have customized your privacy settings in a specific way
If the selector won't stay on "Use custom settings" when you close and re-open the page, it means that Firefox didn't detect any changes from one of the other two conditions. Does that make sense?
If you close lose your settings between the time you exit Firefox and start it up again, see the earlier link from Happy112.
