are we ever going to see chromium-like ad/tracker "sandboxing" in any variant of Ff (beta/alpha) on any OS anytime soon?

same goes for V8 VM [non-JavaScript lang specifiic] "Optimizations."

obviously, these are "experiments," but i'm evaluating them on win10 & Andro14. they look very promising.

Deleting unwanted browsing history is unreasonably difficult

Let's say I googled "rectal cancer" on a daily basis 6 months ago. I had quite a challenging time, but thankfully that problem got sorted and I'm ready to put it all behind me.

Problem: I don't want "rectal cancer" showing up in my search suggestions ever again.

I can go to the "History" panel and search for "rectal cancer" to find all the unwanted history entries BUTT I can't delete any of them. The history panel doesn't allow searching and deleting at the same time. So the only option I have is to clear my entire history, or scroll down my history manually for hours to find all the entries I want to remove.

Isn't this almost unbelievably stupid?

Hello,

I often use my Firefox for Android to connect to IoT devices with embedded HTTP web portal which don't have HTTPS enabled. If the device doesn't respond in time the browser automatically redirects to HTTPS version due to browser.fixup.fallback-to-https set to true by default so I cannot simply click Retry without modifying the url. This is extremely annoying. The about:config is not available in Android version so I cannot change this setting.

What should I do?
