I use a MacBook, and on my Firefox browsing history, my options are "Today, Yesterday, Last 7 days, This month, August, July, June, May, Older than 6 months". However, my wife's Mac Air only shows "Today, Yesterday, Last 7 days". How can I get her browsing history to be the same as mine? Thanks!

It sounds like something is removing her history. First, let's try this;

[v57+] Places Maintenance is built into Firefox.

Type about:support<enter> in the address bar.

You will find Places Database near the bottom. Press the Verify Integrity button.

When done, copy and post the results here.
