Firefox 3.6.12 does not SAVE "the setting" for the history selection. I enter "Remember history" but when I open the privacy option again it's back to "Use custom settings for history". It will not SAVE the change from (in) the drop down box.

You need to make at least one change to make "Use Custom settings" stay selected.
If all settings are the default then the History and Cookie setting revert to "Remember history" the next time you open Tools > Options > Privacy.

The "Use custom settings for history" choice reverts to "(Never) Remember history" if all History and Cookies settings are the default.

The "Use custom settings for history" choice will stay selected as long as not all settings are the default to make you aware that you made changes.

That was not helpful. It did not SAVE even if I changed things in the privacy window.
