Firefox android keeps a full history of entries form the address bar. This list is very helpful when using "search history" option for address bar autocomplete or suggestions. ("Firefox suggests")

HOWEVER, it is insanity inducing when invalid entries exist in that list, as they are endlessly suggested, but cannot easily be exorcised from said list.

Sure, the list can be displayed, and individual or even multiple entries can be displayed (as described in this article: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/clear-your-browsing-history-firefox-android

However, this technique requires you to manually scroll through thousands of entries to select the items you may wish. There is no tool to sort the list or any other list manipulation tools. There is a search function, as identified by the magnifying glass icon in the menu bar, and the search tool quickly displayed all the target appearances from the thousands. It even conveniently shows them on the search results page... BUT you cannot effect any of the actions available for the unsearched list. All you can do is open one of the search results. You can't delete, select or anything.

This makes editing the history for invalid or otherwise undesirable entries IMPOSSIBLE.

The tool set needs to be extended to the search results list, or some other tool needs to be provided to edit the history in some other way.

Any suggestions are welcome, this could also be considered s feature suggestion. My only option is to use a different browser, and that is very unplayable to me. I am a radio firefox defender.

I just got a new phone a couple of days ago. I am used to watching youtube on browser instead of the app for one simple reason: adblock. I set everything up the same way I had it on my old phone. But this one always needs me log in again after a few hours, which is a new issue. I already contacted youtube about it and they told me it's probably an issue with cookie settings. ...but I can't find cookie settings anywhere. All the tutorials are for older versions and simply don't work anymore!

Hello all,

I have been having a problem while accessing the websites of some utility bills when using Firefox. For example, on this utility portal for viewing a bill, all the interactive elements like buttons and dropdowns did not behave well.

I've tried clearing my cache and disabling add-ons, but that didn't seem to do the trick. Has anyone else had any issues with Firefox compatibility on particular websites? Are there settings I can try changing?

Thanks in advance for your assistance!
