The Firefox Permissions Manager allow a user to "Forget About This Site" one site at a time -- but that is not a practical way to Forget hundreds or thousands of sites listed in Permissions Manager. Is there a way to select multiple sites to Forget, or to batch-Forget sites, or to Forget all sites? Thanks.

Hi,

You can try to Clear Recent History via Tools (Alt + T). Select a closely matching criteria in Time range to clear and choose all the options under Details. This would mass forget all or some sites depending on the time range selected.

Thanks, dumdidadida. That solution worked.

The permissions.sqlite file stores 'allow' and 'block' exceptions for cookies, images, pop-up windows, and extensions (software) installation.

You can use this button to go to the Firefox profile folder:
