How do I go to a previously safe but now blocked site and SAFELY remove private information?
I am a member of the now seemingly abandoned Legacy Learning Systems community website (http://community.learnandmaster.com/). A few weeks ago their certificate expired and the guitar community has acquired an new site. One member overrode Firefox to get there, but encountered hacking on his computer. I still have photos and my email address over there but am scared to go delete the information. Any help on how to safely get there and dispose of the info would be greatly apprieciated.

Once finished may want to do this to make sure : Please use more than 1 scanner as each uses diff tech :
Save your Report and google each before deleting anything as do not want to delete something you need, If need help :
Post in only 1 forum, then wait.
Please let us know if this solved your issue or if need further assistance.

Are the operators planning to delete the old site? Seems weird to create a new site and not tell everyone what is going on.
It's difficult to be safe on a website if it has been compromised. Do you know whether that is the case, or maybe the other person was attacked by a bad ad which you could defend against using a good ad blocker?
You can remove all data stored in Firefox from 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 from that domain like bookmarks and history and cookies and passwords and cache and exceptions, so be cautious. If you have a password or other data from 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 from that website will be saved once again.
