I have clear search history when browser is closed checked, and it still has a months worth of history and I have closed and reopened the browser countless times, why doesn't the history clear?

When I close a tab, and try to find it in the recently closed tabs in the history, some i just closed, and without opening even a few others, they do not show up in the recently closed tabs list, while some I closed the day before are in there even when I filter to "Today" and that after" using Firefox for less than an hour and only had.
For one I think Today doesn't do that but rather the last 24 hours or similar.
It actually has been a problem for a very long time.
I can find most of them in the "Show all History", but that defeats the purpose of the recently closed tabs option.
I am using 143.0.4 (64-bit) AKA archlinux - 1.0, on Arch Linux I update every few days.
In my case today it was a Duck Duck Go search results page.

I recently got a new computer running W11. As always, the first thing I did was download Firefox and set it to my default browser. Then I logged in and synced. Firefox picked up some things - like my passwords, but not a single instance of history, not a single bookmark, or the tiles of frequent websites seen on the new tab page. Thinking something had gone wrong, I uninstalled FF and then reinstalled it. No change. As I was researching what to do when FF syncing fails, I realized that FF is not saving any data in history. NONE. I fiddled around with this situation for about five hours and it showed NO history of websites/pages visited. I went to a few common websites by name, typing www.ebay.com into the search bar (for example) and since that was a website I had now "frequented" I expected it to show up as a tile in the new tab page, but it didn't, even after closing it and opening it several more times to demonstrate (to FF) its frequent-ness.
What could be causing all this? I assume some settings in about:config are off, but can't find any information searching the web. No matter how I state the question, I only get responses like what to do if FF doesn't sync, NOT what to do if FF doesn't collect any history. Honestly, this is a standalone private home computer. It doesn't actually HAVE to sync with work. But it's not very useful to have a browser that collects NO history.
Sorry this is so long, and may I say, any help will be seriously appreciated.
