User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Android; Mobile; rv:28.0) Gecko/28.0 Firefox/28.0 (Nightly/Aurora) Build ID: 20140321152412 Steps to reproduce: Clear history with a large history to clear. Actual results: Dialog hangs the whole browser while clearing history. Expected results: History should be cleared on another thread than the main one, either immediately closing the dialog (clearing in the background), or at the very least display a progress bar in the box. This is 2014, multi threading is a common practice to avoid locking up the GUI when performing lengthy operations.
Note that I'm posting from mobile but the problem described is in the desktop client.
