Restore "Do not show me this again" property

Unread post by VLMin » 2018-12-09, 06:52

In a confirmation dialog containing a "Do not show me this again" checkbox, I accidentally checked the box and clicked "OK". Is there any way to identify such a message and reverse that selection?

Thank you.

If it was a browser (or addon) window, then the setting is most likely stored in about:config. Look for the name of whatever it is you changed, there should be a line in bold with a value of "true" or "false".
It would help if we knew what this window was about.

Sorry I was not more explicit. It is a dialog displayed by the Session Manager extension when deleting a session. The dialog says "Are you sure" (paraphrased) and offers the little checkbox.

In about:config, I see the property privacy.cpd.extensions-sessionmanager, but I think this may refer to the browser's built-in session manager. I don't wish to mess that up!

There is a "Reset warning prompts" in the "Advanced" tab of the Session Manager Options, that might do it.

BTW, privacy.cpd.extensions-sessionmanager, is not a built-in preference.
Scratch that, I think I'm wrong on that.
Or maybe not.
Lets leave it as, I'm not sure (but leaning, again, towards, not ;-)).

Thank you. I don't know, either, so I didn't touch it. I already shot myself in the foot once! :crazy:
