why isn't past seven days, monthly history and further back history available?
I no longer have access to history beyond today and yesterday. I would like access to all history broken down in today, yesterday, past 7 days, monthly, etc.... How do I set up History to have access again?

, however note that the History is stored in the file places.sqlite and that file will still exist (It also contains your bookmarks ).
Unfortunately Firefox itself takes no steps to backup your History. In future you could consider backing up the Firefox profile. Or even just the Firefox History databaseplaces.sqlite. Another workaround; if you have more than one device would be to sync devices, asecondmachinewould then have the same History
How do I set up Sync on my computer?
Or
You can try to restore a previous version of the places.sqlite file stored in your firefox Profiles - Where Firefox stores your bookmarks, passwords and other user data .

You can check the "Clear history when Firefox closes" settings and make sure that you do not clear Browsing History
