Can I remove a specific link from the Awesome Bar history in FF mobile (Android)

I want to remove specific links from the Awesome Bar history in FF Mobile on a Samsung Galaxy Tab. Is this possible? Related - how do I remove links from the bookmarks I've imported from my desktop FF? I started by being able to tap and hold the link, then hit 'Remove' from the popup menu that appeared. Now that function seems to have stopped working. Any ideas? Thanks!

Sorry, there isn't a built-in way to remove a single link from the history in mobile Firefox. This extension adds a button to clear the entire history:

To remove a bookmark, you must first switch to the "bookmarks" section of the awesomebar screen, then press and hold, and choose "Remove" from the pop-up menu.
