User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; Win64; x64; rv:60.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/60.0
Build ID: 20180605171542

Steps to reproduce:

when I open a new tab I have "top stories" showed
if I use a lot in yars so for example GOOGLE I'll have all google links stored
if I search porn site I see a lot of video on PORN.SITE.URL I'll have ton of links stored



Actual results:

I tried to click DISMISS on google or others but when are tons is so hard or IMPOSSIBLE as ever one is showed 
IN ALL CASE this break PRIVACY LAW / GDPR as I can't quick and efficiently delete / purge / CLEAR


Expected results:

an instant clean all issues of that site with one single click
I'm bored about for example GOOGLE , com out searches done monts ago
this break privacy if I have a shared pc or else situation I am unable to clean what I want if not passing hours on it clicking DISMISS

Not a security bug that should stay hidden.

You can use History > Clear Recent History to clear all your history, or you could use History > Show All History, then search, then select all + delete, to remove items. Or you could just delete files off your machine. We also offer you private browsing windows to avoid Firefox storing any data about your visits to particular sites.

(Following doesn't constitute legal advice, I'm not a lawyer, etc.)
GDPR is about companies holding data about you, not about the data on your own machine. Mozilla doesn't have access to your browsing history, it just lives on your machine, so I'm pretty sure it doesn't apply here (in addition to us offering all the ways above to remove data anyway).

tried no work
I just wanted to clean and organize tabs instead of purging history
If I want to remove a site visite tons times is impossible

I TRIED clear all your history option instead of dismiss




NO WORK
