Hundreds of blocked cookies that used to be in my "exceptions" privacy list are now gone/erased. Where did they go? Where on my computer is the list?

Hundreds of blocked cookies and "allow for session only" cookies that used to be in my "exceptions" privacy list are now gone/erased. Where did they go? Where on my computer is the list? This list tooks years to accumulate and I tried to find the file that contained the list so I could save it or copy it but I never could. Is this list somewhere on my computer so I can restore it?

I found that after Firefox v29, a LOT of my settings and
add-ons were changed / reset. Try this; Start Firefox in Safe Mode
While you are in safe mode;
Firefox Options > Advanced > General.
Look for and turn off Use Hardware Acceleration.
Then check ALL of your settings. Browser and add-ons. Then restart.

Did you clear the Site Preferences?

You would need an (older) copy of the permissions.sqlite file that stores the website specific exceptions.
