How do I "Unforget" a site I accidently "Forgot?"
I've been changing my bookmark names in "Properties" and I normally "Right-Click" on the bookmark and hit the "Up-Arrow" once to get properties. But, when you do that on "Bookmarks Toolbar," "Most Visited" sites, you select "Forget about this site," which I hit by mistake. I've got the bookmark saved somewhere else but it's much more convenient in the "Most Visited" location and I can't get it back.
How can I get to to show up again?

Using "Forget About This Site" will remove all data stored in Firefox from that domain like bookmarks, cookies, passwords, cache, history, and exceptions, so be cautious and 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 the involved files.
It doesn't have any lasting effect, so if you revisit such a 'forgotten' website then data from that website will be saved once again.

You can't !
Sorry you can not unforget a site.
The easiest workaround to just start using the site again. Do a web search for the site if necessary.
You could restore an earlier set of bookmarks, assuming this was a relatively recent deletion. That does not get back history, cookies, or logins.
- First make sure you back up the current bookmarks so you can restore them. The option is in the bookmarks library. That is accessible from the "show all bookmarks"option at the very bottom of the dropdown bookmarks menu.
- See Restore bookmarks from backup or move them to another computer_manual-backup
- After restoring a suitable bookmarks backup, again a library option, make a note of the bookmark and restore the current bookmarks using the backup made in step 1.
- Now visit and bookmark the site.
Consider in future making regular backups of the Firefox profile, if all site details are important to you. Or if it is only bookmarks manual backups of them on say a weekly basis (just retaining the most recent one or two backups).

Using the previous two replies to my question I found are useful if you're prepared for this problem. Unfortunately, I was not. I continued to investigate and found the "Page Info item under "Tools." Looking under the "Security" section on this window you'll find the number of visits to the web page. Under the "Most Visited" selection the least frequently visited sites are at the bottom. In my case, even though they're there I don't use them (I access them in other ways). As I removed the less accessed sites others took their place and I eventually restored the site I had "Forgot."
So, it really helped me to know that as I removed sites others would take its place and the information would be gathered again, like deleting cookies.
