Hi, A few updates ago, the option to delete said entries with shift+delete was pointlessly replaced with a three dots menu. NEITHER shift+del NOR the three dots menu do anything. Entries cannot be deleted directly from the address bar. Renaming formhistory.sqlite does nothing.

FF 118.0.2 (64-Bit); Win10

Do they appear in the History sidebar (Ctrl+H) and can they be deleted from there?

Note that formhistory.sqlite stores saved form data, for history items you need to look at places.sqlite.

This is about History visits and not about other types of links that can appear as a suggestion ?
