While searching for history items, cant clear specific ones

more options

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.

Regards, Balázs

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.
