Running ff 3.6.8 on winxp pro sp3 - history is set to be saved for 15 days (options, privacy).

I previously used ff 3.5.6 - history was saved for 15 day - I knew this because I visited http://antwrp.gsfc.nasa.gov/apod/archivepix.html on a daily basis and saw 15 links highlighted. Now I see only 10 links highlighted.

I see in the troubleshooting info 10 and 15 days listed for history. How can this be corrected?

Your pref setting show that you keep the history for 10 days: 

browser.history_expire_days 10
browser.history_expire_days.mirror 10
browser.history_expire_days_min 15

You can look at these prefs on the about:config page.

To open the about:config page, type about:config in the location (address) bar and press the "Enter" key, just like you type the url of a website to open a website.
If you see a warning then you can confirm that you want to access that page.
