Under -- OPTIONS: PRIVACY & SECURITY: OFFLINE WEB CONTENT AND USER DATA

Cannot find any way to "add" a website under "EXCEPTIONS" only "REMOVE" or list

Do no want to grant blanket permissions but do want to allow specified websites so how do i do this?

A website can ask for permission to store data in the offline application cache. See the offline-apps prefs on the about:config page.

Firefox will store small amounts (less than 50 MB) of data in the offline (application) cache without asking for permission.

  • offline-apps.allow_by_default (true)
  • offline-apps.quota.warn (51200)

You can toggle offline-apps.allow_by_default to false to make Firefox ask for permission to store data in the application cache and reduce the value of quota.warn.

You can open the about:config page via the location/address bar. You can accept the warning and click "I accept the risk!" to continue.
