Bug 1892947 Comment 15 Edit History

@hsohaney, of course. Here are the steps fore reproducing the behavior mentioned in Comment 9 (please see the video as well):
1. Launch Firefox (latest Nightly / Latest Beta (b8) with a fresh profile
2. Go to about:preferences#privacy 
3. Check the "Delete cookies and site data when Firefox is closed" checkbox from "Cookies and Site Data" section
4. Scroll down until you reach the "History" section and press the "Settings..." button (next to the "Clear history when Firefox closes" checkbox)
5. Observe the checked checkboxes from the "Clear browsing data and cookies" dialog

AR: "History" checkbox is checked (besides the "Cookies and site data" and "Temporary cached files and pages" checkboxes)

Also, I have noticed that if I perform the above steps right after updating to the latest Nightly build 127.0a1 (2024-05-01) / latest Beta build 126.0b8 the "History" checkbox is indeed not checked (only the "Cookies and site data" and "Temporary cached files and pages" checkboxes are checked). After that, if I create a new profile again and repeat the steps  above, the "History" checkbox is checked again. 

Please let me know how we should proceed further.

Could you please clarify one more time what needs to be verified for test 1?
