How can I edit the white/blacklists for click-to-load plugins?

I activated the click-to-play plugins option in about:config, but unintentionally clicked the "never load for this site" option on one website. I actually want to always load plugins from this site. But now I cannot find how to change for that site.

The location bar does not display a plugin icon when I visit (even though I know that the page I'm visiting includes plugins).

In about:permissions, my plugin settings for 'all sites' and for that specific site are both set to 'always ask', but it doesn't do so.

How can I reactivate plugins for this site, without turning off the click-to-load plugins option? (ftr, I tested this and all plugins loaded correctly if that option is disabled)

I put some explanatory screenshots into an album on imgur, which can be found here: http://imgur.com/a/ZPvs7

Hi! Just go to that website and click on the icon on the left of the url in the urlbar, then click on "More Information...": the Page Info window will appear. Click on "Permissions" and scroll down to the section about the plugins allowed on that website. The plugin you mentioned should have the "Blocked" option checked: just check "Always ask" or "Allow" instead and the problem will be solved!
