The "forget" button already provides this functionality. You can read more about it here: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/forget-button-quickly-delete-your-browsing-history
I'm concerned that adding this checkbox to the clear recent history UI adds yet even more complexity to this window. Since we're currently looking at how we can improve this dialog, I'll leave this bug open for consideration. Thank you!
