Firefox keeps resetting itself to "never remember history" even though I keep telling it to "use custom settings for history".
Firefox seemed to be working fine until yesterday. When I first used Firefox yesterday, my homepage had been changed to the Firefox start page and my tabs from the day before didn't open. I went to settings and changed the homepage back to google.com and told it to "use custom settings for history". I closed Firefox and opened it again and my homepage was google.com, as I set it, but it was set back to "never remember history". I tried several times yesterday and today, but Firefox keeps setting itself to "never remember history".

Choosing the "Use custom settings for history" setting doesn't make any changes to history and cookie settings.
Firefox shows the "Use custom settings for history" setting as an indication that at least one of the history and cookie settings is not the default to make you aware that changes were made.
If all History settings are default then the custom settings are hidden and you see "Firefox will: (Never) Remember History".
Never Remember History" means that Private Browsing is active and "Always use private browsing mode" gets a check mark.
