I'm using version 7.0.1 with Windows XP.

I have searched high and low on Google and elsewhere for the answer to this question and I cannot find one. There does not appear to be a setting in Toops|Options. Is it one of the entries in about:config? If it is, and I change it, will the change be ignored?

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.
