I am using FF 8 on Windows 7. I have followed FF instructions for this problem but when I select 'use custom settings for history' and click OK the selected setting is not accepted and defaults back to 'remember history' and I can get no further in solving the cookie problem. Can anyone help?

Thanks for the reply.

I'm afraid following these steps did not solve the problem. I have learned that I can save preferences on other tabs within the options menu but not for history.

Can you attach a screenshot showing your selections for history?

Choosing the "Use custom settings for history" setting doesn't make any changes to history and cookie settings.
Firefox shows the "Use custom settings for history" setting as an indication that at least one of the history and cookie settings is not the default to make you aware that changes were made.
If all History settings are default then the custom settings are hidden and you see "Firefox will: (Never) Remember History".
Never Remember History" means that Private Browsing is active and "Always use private browsing mode" gets a check mark.
