Firefox for Android Community Forum

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!

I have Instagram and other social media installed as PWAs,and when I get notifications on my phone for example 'someone liked your post' or 'you have a new message' when I tap on them it takes me to Instagram's home page (or any other social media home page respectively) instead of getting me to the mentioned action as it should happen!

I have one phone with firefox downloaded but you say im logged on same device different names. I dont know how to close them and still get on firefox. HOW DID IT END UP WITH 3 accounts? Also shows account on samsung tablet which is no longer functional in any way. How do i get it off my lists it says im logged into.

Thats all Im getting out if firefox now. I want to sign in to get help but like ending up here its knly after stumbling around sugnjng in, filling out request for help that dusappears and i have to start over. Ive been usinf firefox for years but i guess im just going yo be stuck typing in email addresses and passwords and writing them down which we are advised not to do but ive been online for half an hour getting nowhere.

I was managing my bookmarks on Firefox desktop after syncing them from mobile, but accidentally restored a version from earlier in the day which had no bookmarks. There aren't anymore recent or automatic backups from when I synced the bookmarks and they are deleted from my mobile too.

Is there anyway to restore bookmarks from a sync or directly undo a batch of deleted bookmarks on andriod?
