How do I set a time period longer than 7 days for keeping my browsing history on my Macbook Pro? The instructions for doing so on a Windows PC do not work with a Mac.

I am using Firefox 8.0.1. There seems to be no option anywhere in Preferences on my Macbook Pro for keeping the browsing history for a specific period of time. Earlier my history was kept for quite a while. Now it only shows for 7 days at the most, and if I quit firefox, it starts over again fro scratch the next time I open Firefox. Any suggestions? There are plenty of answers out there if you are using Windows, but I haven't found anything for using a mac.

There is no time limit in Firefox 4+ versions for the history.
Firefox determines automatically how many pages can be kept without affecting the performance.
You can see the current value via the reads-only pref places.history.expiration.transient_max_pages on the about:config page.

See:

If you lose the history then make sure that you do not use Clear Recent History to clear the browsing history.
Also make sure that you do not have cleanup software that might clean up files in the Firefox Profile Folder.
