Steps to reproduce. 

1. Open History in the sidebar.
2. Choose "View" / "By Date".
3. Open a folder i.e. "Today", or "Yesterday", right click the first entry and choose "Delete This Page". 
4. Press and hold down the Delete key. 


Actual results:

Only the first entry is deleted when the Delete key is pressed. 


Expected results:

Holding down the Delete key should delete every entry until the key is released. This is the way it works if any other "View" option is selected.

Confirming with FF12.0 on Fedora16. 
Here it deletes two entries only as it loses focus.

I've tried this with a few different view options on Firefox 59 nightly on ubuntu and it WFM. I guess it got fixed along the way somewhere.
