how long will history last?
Recently I wanted to save my history in October 2011. I had something in it I had to save from my browsing history.
How long does Firefox keep history? Will it stay there until I delete it or is the history kept for only 120 days? Can I extend the history time frame in any way? Or does FF (version 8.0.1) automatically delete after the 120 day time limit? Thanks.

There is no time limit in Firefox 4+ versions for the history.
Firefox determines automatically how many pages can be kept without affecting the performance.
You can see the current value via the reads-only pref places.history.expiration.transient_max_pages on the about:config page.
See:
If you no longer have history from October then it has been deleted.
