I need to access my history from July. My settings have been always set at "save history for 180 days." However, when I click on History, I only see options to view up to the last month. How do I access my July history?

Looks that the history has been deleted if you only see the last month.
You can see when that happened if you look at the date of the oldest entry.
You can make more columns visible in the History Manager (Library).

Hmm ... any idea what setting I would use to ensure the history is retained? I thought choosing custom settings, and "Remember my browsing history for at least 180 days" would do it.

I chose custom settings so I could specify cookie settings. I just tried to change that back to "remember history" instead of custom, and it doesn't seem to want to take, even after clicking OK.

Are you running any cleanup software like CCleaner on your computer that can cause the history to get deleted?

Are you losing other personal data from your Firefox profile?

No, no cleanup software. I have emptied the cache, though.

I'm not aware of losing any data from my profile.
