Remove websites that save data offline. Forgot how to do it.
Firefox 55.0.3/Win10
I learned how to permanently remove websites that save data offline here: "The following websites are allowed to store data for offline use:" It doesn't tell me when a website wants to store data and I don't want it to store data.
I refreshed FF after dealing with a million "FF is not responding" messages and so I reversed the ban, How do I do this?
Thank you,

Options is not where you find this setting. As I said, I think it's "about:" something.
Would you try this please :
Type in the address bar about:config (press Enter) (promise to be careful, if asked) Type and look for the preference : offline-apps.allow_by_default and set it s value to false
You could also consider decreasing the value of the pref :
offline-apps-quota-warn (default = 51200)

In Firefox 55, I think that would be on the Options page, Advanced panel, Network mini-tab.
More info on that section of the page: Advanced panel - Accessibility, browsing, network, updates, and other advanced settings in Firefox
Can you find it on your Firefox?
Maybe you meant this: Why does Firefox IGNORE my "Offline web content and user data" settings?
No, I know it's a bug, which is why I completely removed it last time. Maybe it's because the data is saves is so small.
Good question, though.
I thought it was an about:Something setting, but I cannot trace my long-ago steps. Will try your suggestion above, but it's def not familiar.
Refreshing helped in some respects/aspects, but FF has to sleek up and stop adding these "cutesy" features. Like it stripped and mean.
Thank you. Keep you posted.
