Why is history not being saved in firefox. The answer to this depends on my uninstalling firefox and using chrome instead.

In fact, I have been using Firefox ever since and I was really disappointed why this was happening. In blogs, there was not suggestion or recommendation to do this. They were pointing to people in Firefox that decided to let go of the history and bookmarks record. Now I finally got it. I will need to get back to those people to straighten them for to lack of information they are getting. Again thanks that I can go back to my favorite browser.
