Current Firefox versions keep a maximum number of visited page and do not have a time limit for the history. Firefox determines how many pages can be kept without affecting performance. The read-only pref places.history.expiration.transient_current_max_pages pref keeps the current value of this calculated maximum number of visited pages. You can create a new Integer pref named places.history.expiration.max_pages if you want to modify the automatically calculates number of pages as shown in places.history.expiration.transient_current_max_pages.

You can open the about:config page via the location/address bar. You can accept the warning and click "I accept the risk!" to continue.
