Not a security bug that should stay hidden. (In reply to alcol from comment #0) > I tried to click DISMISS on google or others but when are tons is so hard or > IMPOSSIBLE as ever one is showed > IN ALL CASE this break PRIVACY LAW / GDPR as I can't quick and efficiently > delete / purge / CLEAR You can use History > Clear Recent History to clear all your history, or you could use History > Show All History, then search, then select all + delete, to remove items. Or you could just delete files off your machine. We also offer you private browsing windows to avoid Firefox storing any data about your visits to particular sites. (Following doesn't constitute legal advice, I'm not a lawyer, etc.) GDPR is about companies holding data about you, not about the data on your own machine. Mozilla doesn't have access to your browsing history, it just lives on your machine, so I'm pretty sure it doesn't apply here (in addition to us offering all the ways above to remove data anyway).
