The browser chrome keeps your browsing history indefinitely.

Alright, I am a fairly new Firefox user, just using since I found out that it got faster than Chrome, which was a couple months ago. I still have my history from then, and I would be inclined to believe that history can last forever unless you delete it. I looked around for some statistic that would tell, but found none. Hope this helps!!
