Bug History not showing tags of bookmark.png
Steps to reproduce:
- Bookmark a website in Firefox version 119 (also tested in Nighly 121)
- Set any tag for the bookmark
- Go to history/bookmark manager aka library
- Look for the bookmarked website in the history section
Actual results:
No tags, added or modified date of the associated bookmark for the website in the history is shown.
Expected results:
Like before in Firefox 118 the history entries should show if it has a bookmark by showing the tags, added and modified date.

The Bugbug bot thinks this bug should belong to the 'Firefox::Bookmarks & History' component, and is moving the bug to that component. Please correct in case you think the bot is wrong.

We stopped showing tags in History, as tags are a bookmarks feature, so they are now only shown in bookmark views.
That gave us the opportunity to simplify a good chunk of the code base for future improvements.

I really liked this option, as I could delete my history for websites I didn't bookmark. I don't want my history to bloat up too much, as in my experience Firefox tends to slow down a lot.
Are there any other options to delete the history except for ones I bookmarked?

Not built-in, an add-on could do it, I don't know if there's already an add-on doing it, try searching on AMO.
Anyway, I think rather than using tags for that, it would be better if history views would show the bookmarked status of a site. You could file an enhancement bug to get a star badge shown on history entries that are bookmarked. Though we may not have internal resources to code it soon. We'd accept patches from the community, unless our UX has concerns with that change. There may also be performance concerns as then history views should then listen for bookmark changes.

Thanks for the info. I will look into it and hopefully find something for me.
