I just noticed that my "Forget this site" option when right-clicking some website in the history is gone and is now replaced by "Remove", is this normal?

Chosen solution

You should still both items ("Delete This Page" and "Forget About This Site") in the right-click context menu in the Library and in the history sidebar.

id="placesContext_delete_history" command="placesCmd_delete" label="Delete This Page"
id="placesContext_deleteHost" command="placesCmd_deleteDataHost" label="Forget About This Site"

Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions ("3-bar" menu button or Tools -> Add-ons -> Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem.

  • Switch to the DEFAULT theme: "3-bar" menu button or Tools -> Add-ons -> Appearance
  • Do NOT click the "Refresh Firefox" button on the Safe Mode start window
