How do you set it to save history for more than the normal 2 months?

Yes I googled it + couldn't find how to do it.

Anyone know?

    So that blind people can hate them as well.

        Yes -- Thanks -- I had already done that. My FF does already remember history.
        It remembers 2 months back.

        It used to remember 6 months back.

        How do I get it to do that again?

          I don't think changing the settings will make older posts "appear" if they were not saved earlier. Those are the settings I use and I have history of more than 6 months. However, if I had just changed to that setting it would take time for the "history" to build up after the changeover.


          Something else to look at - in the options instructions above - you'll see "custom settings" - make sure those are checked EXCEPT the one that says to delete history when you close the browser.

    If what Kay says doesn't do it for you ...

    type "about:config" into FF address area and click enter
    you will see a search bar appear below it.

    type "history" and then click search.

    You then see about 20 history setting you can change

    There might be more - I just did a quick look for you and it appears
    what you want is right there.
