History only seems to be saved for the last 7 days. Where can I access older history? How can I save longer history in the future?

Hi mouse to the top of the browser and Right Click in a empty spot and turn on the Menu Bar. History --> Show All History.

3Bar Menu --> Library --> History --> View History Sidebar The above is rather limited though.

Please let us know if this solved your issue or if need further assistance.

Sounds that you have some software scheduled to run weekly to clear the history. Firefox has a maximum number of pages for keeping history and not a time limit.
