I went to look for a website in my history only to find out that my history only went back 10 days. I looked in Tools>Options>Privacy and "remember my browsing history" was set to 90 days. So I can't figure out why I don't have history older than 10 days or how to recover the older history.

The pref browser.history_expire_days_min is set to 210, so that should be more than adequate.
Looks that someone or security or cleanup software removed the older history items at some time in the past.
So if you have cleanup software (e.g. CCleaner) running regularly then check the settings for the Firefox application.
