Hello Jim8465,

Unfortunately you don't say what happens when you try to check that box, but would you please make sure that you're not in permanent Private Browsing mode :

Preferences => Privacy & Security => under 'History' => Firefox will : choose : 'Use custom settings for history' Uncheck : 'Always use private browsing mode'

If the above isn't what causes the problem : do you by any chance use an external password manager  ? If so : would you disable it and see if that will make a difference  ?
