Hello,

I am not sure if you can remove specific entries. But if you want to remove all of your history, or history from a certain time period, you can do so by:

  • History (or menu New Fx Menu > History) > Clear Recent History

Select Form & Search history, and anything else you would like to clear.

You can change your settings as well to automatically delete this information in:

  • For Windows: Tools (or New Fx Menu) > Options > Privacy

You can choose to Never Remember History or set custom settings to only clear certain information when Firefox closes.

Please see the article Delete browsing, search and download history on Firefox for more information.
