You already may have set all choices to their default values.

The "Use custom settings for history" setting allows to see the current history and cookie settings, but selecting that setting doesn't make changes to history and cookie settings.
Firefox shows the "Use custom settings for history" selection as an indication that at least one of the history and cookie settings is not the default to make you aware that changes were made.
If all History settings are default then the custom settings are hidden and you see "Firefox will: (Never) Remember History".

If you do not keep changes after a restart then see:
