Steps to reproduce:

Currently all your history is meshed together from all devices, so if you want to find device specific history, it's almost impossible to find. If a user opened one page on his phone and then 100 on his laptop, the page on the phone is completely lost in the sync'd history.

I'm assuming you're talking about sync'd history from other devices and how it appears on fennec.

since the sync feature is not providing the data, i would presume this is also wontfix.  

cc'ing rnewman and mfinkle to further comment.

There was a mirror bug which I filed for Desktop, but basically rnewman said it isn't part of the design goals. History is stored globally and thus this is WONTFIX. Apologies, I should've updated of this one at that point.
