I have my history settings set to keep track of 45 days of browsing, but it just keeps track of like 20-25 days. And it doesn't disappear on a regular basis. Today, I might see last 27 days of browsing, while tomorrow, only last 22 days might be visible. I tried reinstalling, deleting places.sqlite, migrating profiles, none worked :/

Chosen solution

You only keep history for 15 days according to your More system details list

browser.history_expire_days : 15
browser.history_expire_days.mirror : 15
browser.history_expire_days_min : 45

You can look at these prefs on the about:config page.
