Issues with history pane and sidebar in Firefox

eggbertx — Wed, 10 Dec 2025 22:23:01 GMT

A recent change (I don't know exactly what version this started at) made to the way the history panel works in Firefox makes it so that I can no longer delete sorted groups (month, site, etc) of history entries. I am also no longer able to delete an individual entry by pressing delete.

Also, when I close the history panel, it leaves the sidebar open, even though I didn't have it open before opening the history pane (with ctrl+h).

Also also, I enabled vertical tabs out of curiosity, all of the buttons on the sidebar excluding the "Customize sidebar" button disappeared, as seen in the screenshot. They reappear when I close and reopen Firefox, but this still seems like a bug.

I am confirming this issue.

The new history sidebar doesn't respond to key inputs like tab > ctrl+a >del like previous or the History Library.

The Sidebar also suddenly has a useless 1/2 inch strip to the left. And the line spacing is blown up. Firefox is now a cluttery mess. How to get rid of these junky changes?
