## Please provide a summary of the request and outline any user-facing changes. [REQUIRED]
We have revamped the clear history process for users on firefox desktop. There is a new UI for the clear history dialog, with new clearing options, and functionality. Users can now see how much data they are clearing for cookies and cache based on the time range they select to clear. Additionally, the dialog has been unified through all entry points for clearing history (hamburger menu, about:preferences#privacy --> clear data, clear history, clear on shutdown). The clear site data dialog will have it's own clear options remembering, separate from clear history and clear on shutdown.
The new dialog will be enabled by default.

You can access the clear history dialog through the hamburger menu, under history --> clear recent history. Otherwise, you can access the dialog through about:preferences#privacy --> clear site data or clear history or clear on shutdown settings. To test data size changing, you can switch the clearing time range you select. To test pref remembering, you can test which options are remembered  by clearing different options through different endpoints.
