The "New Features" web page lists this feature ( 'Forget this site' ). I cannot find it. Erasing the history, cookies, etcetera may do what this is supposed to do, but that is not a new feature.

It is weird that this is listed and I cannot find it.

Thanks in advance,

Walter Jost

Open the history sidebar by using the keyboard shortcut Control+H, or in the View menu select Sidebar, then History. In the history find the site that you want to forget, then right-click on it and select "Forget About This Site".

Be aware that "Forget About This Site" does more then deleting the history, so be careful with using it. Firefox will remove everything from the selected site and that includes passwords, cookies, saved form data, exceptions (images, cookies, pop-ups) as well as bookmarks and history and cache items.

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.
