That is what this extension does: https://github.com/sr33/ares

It hasn't been maintained in a while, but I can confirm that it still works.

EDIT: Here is another alternative. I haven't used this one myself but it seems legit: https://github.com/j0be/PowerDeleteSuite

ares isn't on the firefox store anymore and PowerDeleteSuite gets responses that are "success: false" 99% of the time because it doesn't fit the throttling they have very well so it leaves huge gaps of un-edited posts in your history

I looked for a reddit history editor a while back and found those two as well, couldn't make them work.

I made a replacement tool that just got approved in the Firefox addons store if you want to try it out: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/bulk-delete-r...

I also recently made a browser extension because those two tools are outdated / hard to use: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/bulk-delete-reddit...

Let me know if you try it! Still developing and would love feedback.

Personally I'd love to have an upvote and subreddit filter. So "delete all comments except the ones on /r/askscience or the ones with above 100 upvotes".

Awesome feedback, I'm on it!

Shreddit does that.

It’s pretty simple to do yourself. Last time I did this, I injected jQuery and wrote a few lines to delete a comment, wait a few seconds, delete another… then you reload the page and do it again. I would imagine that most HN members could do that fairly easily.
