Clear History and Cache Older Than a Certain Amount of Time or Date

[Daniel909]

Hi

In Firefox Mobile and Firefox it would be useful to clear history and cache of websites visited that is older than a certain amount of time or before a specific date. For example, clear data that is older the 3 months, or older 6 months, or older than 14.04.22. At the moment you can only clear recent data or everything.

This would allow you to free space used up by cached files on websites that you are not visiting frequently or recently. This is particularly handy if your mobile device does not have much free storage, but you still want to benefit from reduced download time of having cached files from websites you visit regularly or websites you have visited recently and will look at again soon but will not likely visit again in the long term.

Thank you for upvoting this idea!

@JonYou can delete my idea. It's a duplicate of the other idea. Thanks

This feature should available on all platforms (Windows, Android, Linux, etc.) and products which have history feature (Firefox, Fenix, etc.).  

Support browse, delete arbitrary time range history (it would better to support delete all browsing data such as cookies, caches in clear browsing history page), for example, 20230101 0:00-20230215 12:00, date and time fields should able to imput and have "+" and "-" buttons, and date should have a date picker, when click/touch it, pop-up a selectable calendar.

Please prioritize this for Firefox Android because Firefox Desktop already has an addon that does this. Unfortunately, this addon doesn't work on Firefox Android.
