History > Show All History maximum is "Older than 6 months" but the last site visited dates back to 06/29/2021. How do I allow Firefox to save more than six months history?

Current Firefox versions keep a maximum number of visited page and do not have a time limit for the history. Firefox determines how many pages can be kept without affecting performance. In current releases you can find this value if the click "Verify Integrity" on the "Help -> More Troubleshooting Information" (about:support) page.

  • History can store a maximum of xxx unique pages

You can create a new Number pref named places.history.expiration.max_pages if you want to override the automatically calculated number of pages. Be cautious though with modifying the value of this pref.
