Select, delete or bookmark results from Android history search

[Anonymous]

When you search for something in your Android browsing history, the only option is to open one of the results directly.

There could be ❌ (delete) buttons next to every result and/or a context menu to bookmark or open all of them at once.

Highly frustrating that this still isn't implemented on mobile.

Since the feature hasn't been implemented yet, and nobody else has offered a workaround, here's how you can manually remove a single website (or multiple specific websites) from your browsing history on Firefox for Android. You need to be using a rooted phone, as otherwise your phone vendor is blocking you from accessing and managing your own data.

$ su
# sqlite3 /data/data/org.mozilla.firefox/files/places.sqlite
> DELETE FROM moz_places WHERE url LIKE '%whatever%';
> DELETE FROM moz_origins WHERE host LIKE '%whatever%';
