No history past 7 days, how to keep infite history?
I have done a butt load of research on this and would someone please clear this problem up.
I went to find something I'd looked at a week or two ago but my history doesn't have anything past 7 days. That pissed me off because now I have no history that I quite possibly needed.
In my research I found about trying to look at the profile.sqlite file and I got the SQLite program. I cannot figure out how to view it.
I've checked my about:congif and added an integer as places.history.expiration.max_pages and set to 9999999 (ergo, also changing the places.history.expiration.transient_current_max_pages to the same).
I have checked all of my settings. I cannot find where anything would be deleting the history. As far as I can see, there a lot of other people out there with the same problem as me and I'm hoping we can all get a clear answer.
Thank you for your help.

Delete a possible user.js file and numbered prefs-##.js files and rename (or delete) the prefs.js file to reset all prefs to the default value including prefs set via user.js and prefs that are no longer supported in the current Firefox release.
Note that your System Details List shows that you have a user.js file in the profile folder to initialize some prefs each time you start Firefox.
The user.js file is only present if you or other software has created it, so normally it wouldn't be there. You can check its content with a plain text editor if you didn't create this file yourself.
The user.js file is read each time you start Firefox and initializes preferences to the value specified in this file, so preferences set via user.js can only be changed temporarily for the current session.
Yes, I am aware I have a user.js file and I'm keeping it so what else can I do?
What is the content of the user.js file?
Are there any prefs in it that are related to history or clearing personal data?
Do you have any cleanup software that might be deleting the history?
