The "Use custom settings for history" setting allows to see the current history and cookie settings, but selecting that 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.
Does Firefox keep history during a browsing session?
You can easily see that in the History sidebar (Ctrl+H) is you sort by "Last Visited".
Can you attach a screenshot of that window?
Use a compressed image type like PNG or JPG to save the screenshot and make sure that you do not exceed the maximum file size (1 MB).
A possible cause is a problem with the file places.sqlite that stores the bookmarks and the history.
