The 'Clear Recent History' function has the option to clear your data from the last hour, two hours, four hours etc.
However, I find that the history that I want to delete has a smaller time frame than that, like 10 or 20 minutes. 
Maybe an input could be added to clear a user-set amount of history, or clear the history from between two times.

Reproducible: Always

I'd also add 1 week and 1 month.

I don't think one month is worth it, as I expressed in https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1136132#c1. It's unlikely people remembers more than a couple weeks of browsing, so it would leave history in a mostly unknown status. At that point would be better to clear everything.
Severity: normal → S3
