Steps to reproduce:
Went into the cache, right clicked on a site, and selected forget about this site.
Actual results:
The entire site history is deleted as expected.
The site cookies are deleted, as expected.
The saved login/password for the site is deleted, which is not expected.
Expected results:
Preserve the saved login info. Or, make it available as a checkbox that so that you can control it. I sometimes go back and say, delete all my Google Maps searches, just to cleanup my history, and its annoying that it wipes my google account login too!! I don't mind deleting cookies as those will be re-created on next login, but I rarely want to delete login info.
It would be nice to have two checkboxes: (1) also delete cookies, and (2) also delete saved login info. I don't care what these default to, I just want a little more control over what is happening, as well as a warning of what it's going to do! It's frustrating to have to through the "forgot password" two-step just to get back into a site.

The Bugbug bot thinks this bug should belong to the 'Toolkit::Data Sanitization' component, and is moving the bug to that component. Please correct in case you think the bot is wrong.
