I need to find older history - going back years. Some advisors have mentioned changing preferences but not sure how to do this, or it being a security setting - would this be with my security software (Eset) or Windows or Privacy on Firefox? Other ideas? Thx for any ideas

You can't make history that isn't there to show by changing history settings. If that history has been removed in the past then it is gone. You would need a backup of the places.sqlite file to recover this history.

Current Firefox versions keep a maximum number of visited pages and do not have a time limit for the history. Firefox determines automatically how many pages can be kept without affecting the performance. You can see the current value of this maximum as the value of the read-only pref places.history.expiration.transient_current_max_pages on the about:config page.
