Build ID: 20171002220106

Steps to reproduce:

I would like to be able to delete recent history on Firefox Android like the built-in addon on Firefox Desktop. Read the related topic on https://discourse.mozilla.org/t/addon-which-deletes-recent-history-on-firefox-android/20370



Actual results:

The built-in addon 'Delete recent history' is not present on Firefox Android and it is not possible to do the same thing with WebExtensions API.


Expected results:

Add support of browser.history API as well as browser.browsingData.removeHistory() on Firefox Android.
Depends on: webext-android
OS: Unspecified → Android
Blocks: webext-android
No longer depends on: webext-android
browsingData.removeHistory() specifically is bug 1363010 (which seems to have stalled unfortunately now that GSoC is over), but we can leave this bug for the rest of the history API (unless there's already a duplicate out there somewhere).
