Release Note Request (optional, but appreciated)
[Why is this notable]: The new dialog provides a new clear history process for users, with notable felt privacy improvements with data size displays.
[Affects Firefox for Android]: No
[Suggested wording]:
Starting with Firefox 126, a simpler and more unified dialog for clearing user data is now available. In addition to streamlining data categories, the new dialog also provides insights into the site data size corresponding to the selected time range.

We would also like to include a screenshot of the new dialog, I have attached to this bug https://bug1883764.bmoattachments.org/attachment.cgi?id=9395812

Thanks, added to the Fx126 nightly release notes, please allow 30 minutes for the site to update.
I will include the screenshot in the finalized released notes.
Keeping the relnote-firefox flag as ? to keep it on the radar for inclusion in the final Fx126 release notes

Rejecting release note request since this was disabled in Fx126/Fx127

This can be nominated for a later release wherever the feature lands and sticks
