While searching for history items, cant clear specific ones
The Android App won't allow me to find specific items from history (e.g. i wanna visit chatgpt.com, but all suggestions offer me chatandgo VENEZIA when typing chat) and delete them. There's no way I can scroll so much history just to find specific items to delete. Method for deleting all history or for last hour makes no sense. See the attachment. Thank you.

Hi,
This seems to be a known bug (I've also reproduced it), you can subscribe to this Bugzilla ticket: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1810837
The ticket also contains a workaround, I'll quote the instructions just in case:
As a workaround, you can use the history search function and access the page again. This should cause the page to jump to the most current location in the history based on the most recent access, so that the desired entry can then be removed using the regular history view. If several entries are to be removed from the search results, the path described must be used for each individual URL.

Thank you warmly for reply, it partially helped.
I guess the issue is stale, it makes no sense subscribing. I might switch to other browsers (solely Android) as MF becomes generally more obnoxious and feel like Firefox utilises far more resources than, let's say, Google Chrome (paradoxically feels less wonky, cluttered).
Have a great day.

Very unfortunate that this seems to be a stale issue. This has definitely been my biggest annoyance with Firefox Mobile throughout all my years using the app. Strangely difficult to do something that is otherwise an effortless action on other mobile browsers or Firefox desktop.
Also, I'm not 100% sure if the workaround fix mentioned works: I've tried this in the past and, in my experience, I believe this only created a new iteration of the hisrory item, and deleting that new iteration from history does not clear the x days/months/years, etc. old iteration, which still appears in suggestions, auto-complete, etc.
