My Firefox settings still say Save History but since the update no history prior to today 5/07/21. PLEASE CAN ANYONE HELP.

Look on your desktop. Do you see a folder called; Old Firefox? Look inside. Look for the folder with the latest creation date.

Type about:profiles<enter> in the address bar. How many profiles are listed? How many should be there? Also, open the profile folder in your file explorer.
