History Only Shows Today's History
I am having this issue where Firefox only keeps "Today's" history. I have thoroughly looked at the community's similar issue fixes.
I do not have Private Browsing on. I have set "Custom Settings History:
-Remember browsing and download history -Remember search and form history
I do not have CC Cleaner or like apps and the one I do is on auto-manual and does not clear FF.
There is no reason for this. I would like to know when answering, what are a couple of likely causes for this. It appears by many queries here and on Google this has been an issue for years and FF seems not to want to fix it or know about it. Your help is appreciated.

Did you check the settings for "Clear history when Firefox closes" ?
In case you use "Clear history when Firefox closes" or otherwise clear history.
- do not clear the "Browsing history"
- Settings -> Privacy & Security
Firefox will: "Use custom settings for history":
[X] "Clear history when Firefox closes" -> Settings - https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/delete-browsing-search-download-history-firefox
- using "Clear history when Firefox closes" in Firefox 102+ honors exceptions and keeps cookies with an allow exception, previous versions removed all cookies
- clearing "Site settings" clears exceptions for cookies, images, pop-up windows, and software installation and exceptions for passwords and other website specific data

Does it still happen with all your extensions disabled?
Go to about:support in the address bar, scroll down to the "Places Database" heading, click the "Verify Integrity" button and wait for the result. Restart the browser and see if the issue persists.
