While searching in history, cannot mark multiple entries at once

Wiktorr — Fri, 09 May 2025 13:21:57 GMT

Hi, as a user who often scopes through own browser history and tries to tidy it from time to time from less useful entries for easier search, I noticed recently that for search via phrase I cannot any longer mark multiple search results and remove the filtered entries.
I see it as downgrade, previously I could clear history of entries from not helpful websites etc.

Can you please bring back marking multiple history simultaneously?
Best regards, Wiktor

Local version 137.0.2 (64-bit), Windows 11

Please compare to how it looks at older version, where I can still filter out and clean browser from typical garbage entries.
I can search through by phrase in URL, mark any subset of my choice and easily remove
Firefox version 115.20.0esr (32 bity) - yep I know it's old, but has this nice feature working well

Works for me on v138 using instructions found at https://kb.mozillazine.org/Viewing_the_browsing_history_-_Firefox#Selecting_history_items. Does it work for you in Troubleshoot mode (https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/diagnose-firefox-issues-using-troubleshoot-mode)?
