Comment (by Thorin):

 gk: I think OP means `[application] update history`, not `[web] download
 history`

 Windows:
 - in FF68+, update files and logs are kept in an randomly named folder.
 The uuid is stored in the pref name on migration, first profile
 - e.g `app.update.migrated.updateDir2.6F193CCC56814779` - `true`
 - e.g files are located in
 `...\ProgramData\Mozilla\updates\6F193CCC56814779`
 - the file updates.xml contains the information shown in `Options >
 General >Show Update History`
 - It seems to limit itself to the last ten entries: maybe you can change
 that in the code to zero

 Mac, Linux: no idea, sorry
