    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.
