I can't quite understand why this reference was marked as off-topic. It does have a certain relevance for me. The option a) "Save as bookmark" already requires that a check is made beforehand as to whether an entry is saved as a bookmark or not, otherwise it would not be necessary to save it or it would be an edit of an existing entry. So if a query is made as to whether the URL has already been saved, this already represents a connection to the referenced bug.

I didn't mark the earlier comment as "off-topic", but this bug is about editing history search results while bug 1812705 is about changing the way bookmarks are displayed in history search results. So they're different features and could be implemented independently. I just cleared the "off-topic" tag.

Hi Chris,
comment #1 has been hidden and marked as obsolete. Since the handling has moved back to Bugzilla, this may seem justified at first glance. However, I have deliberately placed this comment so that it is clear to whom any queries should be addressed. The reporter Jeff Boek [:boek] has only moved this bug report, but is not its initiator. I would therefore be grateful if you could remove the “obsolete” marker and show the comment again.

I'm not sure whether the issues raised in bug 1807065 and bug 1813089 are really identical, although there are certain similarities.
In my opinion, 1807065 refers to “Unified Search,” which takes all sources into account, i.e., search engine suggestions, search terms, bookmarks, history, and possibly more, while 1813089 refers exclusively to searching within the history.
Implementation may solve both use cases equally. I cannot judge that.

I've marked Bug 1807065 as a duplicate of Bug 1807745, and not of this bug, which was just in the See also field. I'm removing it since the duplicate already points to this page.

Curious to understand if there are any plans for progressing this topic or the related https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1810837
a) The added value is high, e.g. history elements cluttering up the autocompletion (which is particularly annoying on mobile)
b) To me as end user, it seems rather simple to implement
c) The competition has the feature since long
d) Many FF users are requesting it, see e.g. the related but or https://connect.mozilla.org/t5/ideas/select-delete-or-bookmark-results-from-android-history-search/idi-p/21330/page/2

Since the feature hasn't been implemented yet, and nobody else has offered a workaround, here's how you can manually remove a single website (or multiple specific websites) from your browsing history on Firefox for Android. You need to be using a rooted phone, as otherwise your phone vendor is blocking you from accessing and managing your own data.
$ su
# sqlite3 /data/data/org.mozilla.firefox/files/places.sqlite
> DELETE FROM moz_places WHERE url LIKE '%whatever%';
> DELETE FROM moz_origins WHERE host LIKE '%whatever%';
