I work on the User Advocacy team and a common comment about History in the Awesomescreen is that there is no way to clear history from the user interface.  Users don't understand that you have to use the settings menue for that and it frustrates them.

" There is no visible way of editing/clearing history. Other than that, it takes a bit to get used to on Android, but I love Firefox. "
" I cant figure out how to clear my history from firefox. I don't have a menu button "
" in history cant erase. so i hope in the next time the history can be erased "

Thanks

Adding Arun to get his brain thinking about this :)

:abc and :ibarlow can we think about doing something about this in FF31 or FF32?
Hi arun:

Spoke with ian today in Vancouver and he said you might have some time to work on this for Firefox for Android 32. Could you please take a look? (we get 1 or 2 support questions per week on the forums at support.mozilla.org complaining about not being able to delete history easily and rob rayborn notices lots of feedback on this issue on input.mozilla.org)

Yes, Roland. Thanks! This is relevant to another bug that I'm looking at right now.
