1813104 - Consider introducing a setting that allows users to disable History Search Groups

Status: NEW

(Firefox for Android :: History, enhancement)

Description

[Jeff Boek [:boek]]

From github: https://github.com/mozilla-mobile/fenix/issues/22181.

[Versions used]:

• Firefox Release 94.1.0 (Build #2015842083)
• Firefox Nightly 95.0a1 (Build #2015841963)

[Platforms used]:

• Samsung Galaxy S8 - Android 9

[Scenario Steps]:

1. Perform a search using the URL bar.
2. Long-press one of the results and tap “Open link in new tab”.
3. Tap “SWITCH” to change tabs.
4. Repeat steps 2 and 3 a few times to create more search group entries.
5. Open the History view.
6. Open the settings menu and try to find a setting to disable History Search groups.

[Proposed result]:

• As a user, I would like to be able to disable search groups from history. I do not like having to open an additional folder to access part of my history, especially if very recent.

[Current result]:

• I have not seen a toggle that allows users to disable History Search Groups at the moment.
• The Recent searches section from the homepage can be disabled, but it does not affect the search groups created in history. In Nightly 95.0a1 a toggle for the tab version was also introduced for #21360, but it does not disable search groups from the history view.

[Notes]:

• I am including a screenshot of the feature I would like to be able to disable.
