How do I increase the length of my browsing history; all I get is today and yesterday and I want to go back 100 days.
When I go to History: Show all History all I have is today and yesterday, but I want to see the sites that I was on a week or even a month ago (I realize that this may slow things down a bit, but it is a price that I am prepared to pay)

The setting for a specific number of days to save History was removed from Firefox several versions ago. Why? Too much History was slowing the loading time for Firefox and sometimes making Firefox sluggish.
Current versions automatically determine how much History to save based on your system's resources (RAM, etc.). It is a complex algorithm, and though I have seen some try to experiment with a few settings, the results were generally not very successful.

Not related to your question, but...
You need to update some plug-ins:
- Plug-in check: https://www-trunk.stage.mozilla.com/en-US/plugincheck/
- Adobe Shockwave for Director Netscape plug-in: Installing (or Updating) the Shockwave plugin with Firefox
- Adobe PDF Plug-In For Firefox and Netscape: Installing/Updating Adobe Reader in Firefox
Make sure that you do not use Clear Recent History to clear the "Browsing History"
If you use cleanup software like CCleaner then check the settings for the Firefox application.
