Suddenly Blocked from site

Last week I was on a site that I frequently visit. When I tried again today I was denied. I cleared cache and even inserted the site as an exception in the cookies. I tried Edge and was able to log on to the site immediately. Why is FIrefox blocking me all of a sudden?

You can remove all data stored in Firefox for a specific domain via "Forget About This Site" in the right-click context menu of an history entry ("History -> Show All History" or "View -> Sidebar -> History").

Using "Forget About This Site" will remove all data stored in Firefox for this domain like history and cookies and passwords and exceptions and cache, so be cautious. If you have a password or other data for that domain that you do not want to lose then make sure to backup this data or make a note.

You can't recover from this 'forget' unless you have a backup of involved files.

If you revisit a 'forgotten' website then data for that website will be saved once again.
