Deleting specific / individual browsing history

I used to be able to search my previous browsing history. Any search would bring up previously visited sites. If I wished, I could long press those to delete them from my browsing history.

Since the new update to 79.04, I could no longer do that. Im not wishing to delete my entire browsing history. Only specific ones. At this stage, the only thing I can do is to go through my browsing history individually starting from the most recent website visited. This would take too long to find a specific website that I visited about a month ago that I would want to be erased off my browsing history.

Hi

You can still delete specific sites from your history in Firefox for Android. Tap on the three dots on the right hand side of the entry and then select Delete to delete it from your browsing history.

I hope this helps.

I can only do that if I go to the history tab. Ill have to manually search one by one for that specific site in my history.

I used to be able to search it up at the search bar, click and hold the sites that ive visited and delete. I cant do that any more.

Yes, it appears that we have changed that process as part of our work to make Firefox for Android faster and easier.

Any chance it will be reintroduce in future updates?

It is possible, yes. We do have new features we are looking to introduce soon, but perhaps this is something we can look at in the future.
