Need to turn a "Are you sure you want to delete this?" prompt back ON.

I work at a small daily newspaper chain, and our website CMS is both archaic and homebrew. I only work with it sporadically, and Firefox is the best option for maintaining it.

This morning, I got the regular "Are you sure you want to delete this?" dialog box (pretty sure it's a Javascript call) with the additional check box of "Do you want (URL) to not prompt you for this any longer?" (or words to that effect).

I thought, "Great, one less click" and made that selection.

But now when I want to delete an item off the articles list, it doesn't delete at all.

I'm pretty browser-savvy, but I don't know how to re-enable that option. Any ideas?

By doing what ? and deleting exactly what.

You think this is a FX issue and not down to the CMS

Maybe show a screen shot of the dialogue.

Thanks for the responses. Yes, after a restart of FX (hence also restarting the session), previous dialog box reappeared. Self-created problem solved.
