Firefox history view change and search?

So I just activated FireFox sync to see the history of browsing on my PC in the phone as well, BUT the list is huge! It seems there are no customization options in the history at all! I cannot change view or search. Is there some settings for this or a plugin to allow these rather basic features?

Hi

By default Firefox Sync will sync your browsing history, in addition to which both Firefox and Firefox for Android will provide search results from your history when you search using the address bar.

You can add searching your history to the search options from the address bar, but beyond that at present there are no other means other than scrolling to look for history entries.

OK so I would really love if Mozilla team worked on the history page more and made it more like it is on a PC. Otherwise this is really not very useful. At least add sorting like today, yesterday, last week and so on (see attached image)

This is something that our developers are looking to include in a future update to Firefox for Android. You can follow progress and add comments at:
