Firefox not recording history

I am running Firefox 3.6 on Windows 7 64-bit.

I've noticed that Firefox has not been recording any history for the past two weeks. If I open up the history pane, it is empty. But if I open up the history window, I can see that it has kept history up until exactly 2 weeks ago, but after that there was no history records.

Firefox's Options>Privacy>History setting is set to "Remember all history", and I have no other noticeably problem with cookies or passwords. Even closed tabs are remembered correctly after closing Firefox. It's just the history records that's not working.

I've tried running in safe mode and disable all add-ons, but neither helped.

Please help me resolve this problem. TIA

More info:

Apparently this has been reported by many back in 3.0: link

I've also noticed that, upon restarting Firefox, all active login sessions on google are terminated -- it does not log in me in automatically after restart. I'm not sure if this is normal or related to this bug.

Please help! Thanks!
