    Personally I don’t see an issue with it. What better way could there be to display clearing browsing history and etc

      This new dialog obfuscates what can be deleted.

      The old dialog gave you check boxes for:

      Browsing & Download History

      Active Logins

      Form & Search History

      Cookies

      Cache

      Site Settings

      Offline Website Data

      To see the difference, open about:config, search for privacy.sanitize.useOldClearHistoryDialog and set it to true

      (Restart Firefox to see the difference)

      Old dialog: Old Dialog

      They could at least have a button/tab/something to enable seeing this view.

        What’s the difference between active logins and cookies?

        Are offline pages used much anymore?

        I don’t think it obfuscates it, it describes each (most) of those items while grouping them more logically. It is just less granular.

        Personally, I feel like more advanced use-cases are better covered by extensions.
