i need to access the "last months" worth of history under the history tab. It currently only shows 7 days. Under Tools, options, privacy, I had it set to remember 90 days.
I've restored the browser history using about:config to show the last months instead of just last 7 days... While I have "last months" option now, it still only goes back the # of days I had before adding it... I then tried restoring my computer back to a certain date to retrieve deleted history (although it was never specifically deleted, just not kept) and the "last months" option under "show all history" went away because that was a more recent change.
I really need to access past web pages but have yet to find a successful resolution to the problem.. I'd appreciate any help!

You can look at these prefs on the about:config page.
- http://kb.mozillazine.org/browser.history_expire_days (180) (also affects saved form data)
- http://kb.mozillazine.org/browser.history_expire_days_min (90)
To open the about:config page, type about:config in the location (address) bar and press the "Enter" key, just like you type the url of a website to open a website.
If you see a warning then you can confirm that you want to access that page.

thanks, but as I mentioned, I already tried extending or restoring the # of days using about:config. It gives me the "last months" option under "show all history", but does not actually list the last month's worth of history... it still only goes back the 7-8 days or whatever the # of days from the date I make that change.
I have the exact same problem . I have had my setting at 90 day for forever, it says in the listing "last month" but only really lists thae last 7 days. . I went to the about:config setting and my setting were set at 90 days
What to do? I need to access those sites from about 35 days ago.
Using 3.6 within windows vista
If older history was deleted then it won't come back and you have to wait a few days so Firefox can store new history.
Does all currently saved history stay visible or are you still losing history that is older than 7 days?
