Firefox is remembering history even though i have it turned off

more options

Until today Firefox hasn't remembered my history other than passwords, usernames, and recently closed tabs, just like i wanted it too. However, today i realized that Firefox is now remembering everything, even though i have "use custom settings" checked and "remember cookies" and that's it, just like I've always had. Im wondering why Firefox suddenly changed my settings on me and how i can fix it. I would like it to stop remembering my history without being in private browsing all the time.
