You might also think of setting up a profile with stricter protections [1]
and use that to access that (untrusted) website.
[1] possibly including disabeling JS altogether or more selectable thru an
add-on like NoScript, and/or by not allowing third-party content to be
accessed by using an add-on like RequestPolicy.
In such cases I often first use a tool to download the raw HTML content and
use a plain-text editor to see if I can get my info that way.

I've found so little info about what that exception list actually does (in
the browser itself or thru googeling) or how to manage it [2] that I've
refrained from using it at all. :-\
[2] no idea how easy it is to remove an exception, or if-and-how I can set a
time-limited one (like as possible with cookies, only valid upto the end of
the current session).
