Note: Some software, like Advanced SystemCare with Surfing Protection, can protect files in the Firefox profile folder against changes. If you have such software then check the settings or uninstall this software.

I'm not sure I understand what is happening.

Is this about the "History -> (Never) Remember History" choice in "Options/Preferences -> Privacy & Security" that reverts to Firefox will: "Use custom settings for history" or something different ?
