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.
