This new dialog obfuscates what can be deleted.
The old dialog gave you check boxes for:
Browsing & Download History
Active Logins
Form & Search History
Cookies
Cache
Site Settings
Offline Website Data
To see the difference, open about:config, search for privacy.sanitize.useOldClearHistoryDialog and set it to true
(Restart Firefox to see the difference)
Old dialog:
They could at least have a button/tab/something to enable seeing this view.
What’s the difference between active logins and cookies?
Are offline pages used much anymore?
I don’t think it obfuscates it, it describes each (most) of those items while grouping them more logically. It is just less granular.
Personally, I feel like more advanced use-cases are better covered by extensions.
