Even though I set "Use custom settings for history" when I close the window and recheck it has set itself back to "Rember History"..why?
I am having trouble getting the settings to stay and can't figure out why...no matter what I do it just resets every time back to the "Remember History" and it won't save passwords on some of my sites.

Firefox shows the "(Never) Remember history" choice if all the history and cookie setting are the default.
Make at least one change to the default setting if you want "Use custom settings for history" to stay selected.
Otherwise Firefox will revert to "(Never) Remember history" if you return to the Privacy tab.
The choice "Use custom settings for history" will stay selected as long as not all settings are the default to make you aware that you made changes.
- Make sure that you not run Firefox in (permanent) Private Browsing - Use Firefox without saving history mode
- You enter Private Browsing mode if you select: Tools > Options > Privacy > History: Firefox will: "Never Remember History"
- Uncheck: [ ] "Automatically start Firefox in a private browsing session"
- Websites remembering you and automatically log you in is stored in a cookie.
- You need an allow cookie exception (Tools > Options > Privacy > Cookies: Exceptions) to keep that cookie, especially for secure websites and if you let cookies expire when Firefox closes
- Make sure that you do not use Delete browsing, search and download history on Firefox to clear the "Cookies" and the "Site Preferences"
Clearing "Site Preferences" clears all cookies, images, pop-up windows, software installation, and password exceptions.

Ok, did everything suggested and it still wants to reset to "remember history".
Any other ideas?
Thank you for your help!
What are the current History and Cookies settings in Tools > Options > Privacy > History ?
It's set to "Remember History" ...which I don't want....
