Yesterday I started using a private tab in Firefox for Android, but I accidently switched to a regular tab. And an unwanted site got registered in my history and as auto-complete sugestion... I didn't find any way to remove these individual entries, I got desperate so I deleted the whole navigation data in Firefox for Android. I use Firefox Sync and I still have my old data in my laptop (it uses Ubuntu), but I tried and I can't get the old data back in Android.

I have 3 questions: - Is is possible to delete indivual entries of history and auto-complete suggestion in Firefox for Android? - Is it possible to get the old navigation data back in my Android device?

HI, Yes and Yes.

  1. you can open a new tab and see the history list. Tap and hold the unwanted history and select "Remove"
  2. You would have to sync the device to the account. Also you can swipe to history on a new tab and swipe between history and history from today after is syncs to confirm if it is there.
