when I change from "remember History" to "use custom settings" it defaults back to remember history when I close the window. How do I keep my new setting?

I need 3rd party cookies enabled for a specific site. When I try to save custom settings, it defaults back to remember history and I can't open what I need on the site

Enabling thirds-party cookies is the default and if there aren't any other changes made then Firefox will show "Remember History"


Choosing the "Use custom settings for history" setting doesn't make any changes.
If Firefox shows the "Use custom settings for history" setting then that is an indication that at least one of the history and cookie settings are not the default to make you aware that changes were If all History settings are default then you see "Firefox will: (Never) Remember History" and the custom settings are hidden.
