I have browsing history set to be kept for at least 90 days in tool/optiond/privacy but when I select Show All History I only get Today and Yesterday - how do I display previous history

The Library page simply has Today and Yesterday folders and if I try to search for anything previous then it is not found. I am sure I am not clearing history manually. I know I accessed the nationwide.co.uk site some days ago. The following day I could see it in the Yesterday folder, but the day after that I could not. It is as if the setting under tools/options/privacy was set to keep history for 1 day. I have not got 'Clear history when Firefox closes' ticked

You can look at these prefs on the about:config page to verify how much history you keep.


If you use cleanup software like CCleaner then check the settings for the Firefox application.
