In the journal I clicked on "forget about this site" - how do I manage the list of such sites?

Chosen solution

"Forget About This Site" will remove all the current content (e.g. bookmarks, cookies, passwords, cache, history, exceptions) that you have saved from a website.
It doesn't have any lasting effect, so if you revisit such a 'forgotten' website then data from that website will be saved once again.
You can not recover the forgotten data unless you have a backup of the affected files in the Firefox Profile Folder.
