In this case start Firefox with the "--purgecaches" parameter once (see
also
http://inpursuitoflaziness.blogspot.de/2014/01/editing-files-from-omnija-in-firefox-20.html).
I've just verified this works for me (Linux, FF45.2.0esr) when setting
the variable to a lower number.
The best way to keep the change permanent would probably be to write an
extension, and you may want to check if existing extensions (e.g.
https://addons.mozilla.org/de/firefox/addon/back-forward-history-tweaks/
or https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/backforedrop/) already
do what you want.

In my Linux installation of Firefox ESR 45.2.0, I tried to modify the
parameter "MAX_HISTORY_MENU_ITEMS" in the omni.ja file's sub-file
"chrome/browser/content/browser/browser.js" and then repack it using
"zip -qr9XD" as instructed on the Web page indicated:
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/About_omni.ja_(formerly_omni.jar%29)
It didn't work. All I got was the following:
test@ime1:~> /opt/Firefox/45.2.0.test/firefox

pref: extensions.getAddons.cache.enabled
I had also tried another, totally unrelated, modification to omni.ja
and got the same error messages. But it works just fine with the
original omni.ja. I am getting the impression that Firefox ESR 45.2.0
is somehow locked down and only works if omni.ja *isn't* modifed.

Looking at the source code there's currently no way to configure this.
Depending on how desperate you are you may unzip the file
browser/omni.ja, change the value of "MAX_HISTORY_MENU_ITEMS" in
chrome/browser/content/browser/browser.js and repack it (see
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/About_omni.ja_%28formerly_omni.jar%29
for detailed instructions on how to do this). This file will be
overwritten on every update however...
