I select Never remember history but when reopening Mozilla F The setting changed to Use custom settings for history. I want Never remember history.
Good morning I select "Never remember history", but when reopening Mozilla Firefox, the setting changes to "Use custom settings for history". I have tried a few times, and the same happens. I would like to keep the setting "Never remember history" selection all the time. Please tell me how do I do that. Thank you. Michel

It is quite normal to see "Use custom settings for history" selected, so it is likely that nothing is wrong. You only need to understand how showing the custom settings works. You probably made some changes to the default history settings.
"Use custom settings for history" allows to see the current history settings, but selecting this choice doesn't make changes to the history settings.
The "Use custom settings..." choice will be selected when at least one history setting is not the default to make you aware that you made changes. Only when 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" has a checkmark.

Note: Some software, like Advanced SystemCare with Surfing Protection, can protect files in the Firefox profile folder against changes. If you have such software then check the settings or uninstall this software.
