I tried it before commenting. You can.
But if it's saving your history while being set otherwise, it sounds like you have a config issue.
It's going to be hard to diagnose, ultimately (e.g. what system are you running it on? What version of Firefox is it?). But the short answer is: it's always possible something is compromised. You could uninstall it completely and reinstall fresh from Mozilla (again), in which case you should see identical behavior to what myself and others have mentioned.
