Hello,

You can try to remove the Site Preferences via "Clear Recent History" or only remove the content-prefs.sqlite file to keep the permissions stored in permissions.sqlite.

  • clearing "Site Preferences" clears exceptions for cookies, images, pop-up windows, and software installation and exception for password and other website specific data

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

  • Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory:

Windows: Show Folder; Linux: Open Directory; Mac: Show in Finder

Hope it helps. Thank You.
