I keep setting my privacy settings to "Use custom settings for history." Then I click ok and it closes. I open it back up and it set itself back to the default "Remember history." This is annouying me because for some reason "Remember history" appearantly won't accept some cookies from game site I frequent.

Firefox shows the "(Never) Remember history" choice if all the history and cookie setting are the default.
Make at least one change to the default setting if you want "Use custom settings for history" to stay selected.
Otherwise Firefox will revert to "(Never) Remember history" if you return to the Privacy tab.
The choice "Use custom settings for history" will stay selected as long as not all settings are the default to make you aware that you made changes.
