It could be because you have Firefox set to not remember any history. Did you do that intentionally? It is set in the Options dialog:

"3-bar" menu button (or Tools menu) > Options > Privacy

Perhaps it would work if you choose "Use custom settings for history" and just turn off the specific things you want to turn off.

Any luck?
