Two issues with the history list on Android. 1. How do I remove the Synced Devices from the top of the list. I do not use this feature and it waste space. 2. How do I get the full history to show. Right now its only by date, and woefully inaccurate. I want to sort it by Last Visited like the desktop version.

Hello DarkRookie,

  1. The "Synced Devices" option is a built-in function and it will not go. However, you can sign out from Firefox Android and it wont sync your stuff!

2. The history shown to you is sorted by the links that you visited most recently. If this is not what you meant, please be more specific so that we ca find you a solution.

If this answer helped you solve your problem, please take a moment to choose it as a solution. Thank you :)

1. I understand its built in, but I want to remove from the history list if I am not using it. I already don't sign into it.

2. Firefox desktop has five different options to sort your history. By Date and Site, By Site, By Date, By Most Visited, and By Last Visited. FF Andriod has no sort options and appears to be stuck on By Date sorting, which doesn't show my complete web history.

Hello DarkRookie, We are sorry to hear about your problem with Firefox Android but there are some things that were not ported to Firefox Android from Firefox Desktop (For example, the different methods of sorting that are available in Desktop version are not available in Android version). This is the way the browser was built.

Thank you for letting me help you :-) Have a great day.

Hello DarkRookie, as far as I know there is unfourtnately no method to see full history on android phone. The only thing you see is your recently history. I am also very curious about the same too. ;)

Isn't it possible to change that to make the browser even better? I loved if that were tried out on the beta version to see if it works or not
