I get the cookies are not enabled message on some sites. My cookies are enabled so I cleared the history and deleted all the cookies. When I try to choose 'Use custom settings for history' it will not let me it keeps going back to 'remember history' I can't change it.

This is messing up my surfing, I can't see some sites because i'm 'not accepting cookies' I don't know what else to do

Firefox shows "(Never) Remember history" if 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.
