  1. "Ctrl+Shift+H" for History Library List
  2. place a colon (":") into the search
  3. Sort descending on "Visit Date"

You can select what columns to view by double-clicking on a column heading or the View menu. You can rearrange columns by dragging column header.

Select the range by selecting one item, then add more with Ctrl key or all in between with Shift key. Then press the "Del" key or right-click and choose.

You can clear all privacy related settings via the clear private data button in the preferences. Tap the device menu button, and tap Preferences. This will clear browsing history and settings, including passwords and cookies.

If you need specific control over what is cleared the two following addons can tweak the behaviour: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/mobile/addon/cleary/ https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/mobile/addon/clear-mobile-history/

It is better to use "Forget About This Site" in such cases to be sure to remove everything.

You can find that in the right-click context menu of a visited web page in the History (Library or History sidebar).

cor-el as was mentioned above this is an issue on Firefox mobile. Which does not have 'forget about this site'.
