Why can't I see more than today's history
I can't find any controls to show more than today's history. I haven't reinstalled Firefox or changed anything significant. I use Windows 10, latest version, and much prefer Firefox to Edge. I would be grateful for some clear instructions, please.

Open the History Manager <Control> (Mac=<Command>) <Shift> H. It should look something like this;
Profile data can be removed or not recorded in several ways;
- 1) Running Firefox in Private Mode (nothing is recorded)
- 2) Privacy settings; (In the address bar, type about:preferences#privacy<enter>)
- 3) Many disk cleaners and anti-virus type programs can remove data from browsers
Open their settings and have them leave the browsers alone. - 4) Mal-ware.
You may be in Private Browsing mode or told Firefox not to remember.
Type about:preferences#privacy<enter> in the address bar. The button next to History, select Use Custom Settings.
Turn off Always Use Private Browsing Mode Turn on Remember My Browsing And Download History At the bottom of the page, turn on Clear History When Firefox Closes. At the far right, press the Settings button. Turn on ONLY Cache and Form And Search History leaving the others off.
Macs: Make sure you install Firefox properly and that you do not run
Firefox from within the DMG (Disk Images) file.

I haven't turned history off, I'm not in Private Browsing Mode and I can see today's sites. I just can't see anything from yesterday backwards. Is there something I might have done inadvertently yesterday to erase the history? The Settings button is greyed out, because Clear History is turned off.
I think I have found the problem and fixed it. I use Advanced System Care which has a General Settings/Automatic Service/Autoclean option to erase today's history on shutdown which was turned on. I have turned it off, so I'll see tomorrow.
