I accidentally clicked "don't ask me again" on a window telling me a script was not responding. How do I undo it?

I was on wikia.com and, as usual, an ad on the side was doing funny things to adobe flash player. firefox told me that the script was not responding, and when I tried to click "stop script", my finger twitched as I moved my mouse, making it so that I accidentally hit "don't ask me again" and "continue". How do I undo it?

You can reset these prefs on the about:config page via the right-click context menu to the default value.

You can open the about:config page via the location/address bar. You can accept the warning and click "I'll be careful" to continue.

Please update to Firefox 32, and see if you are still having a problem there. Firefox 20 is not secure or supported. Update Firefox to the latest release

I don't believe this addresses the question. In my case, these options are already set to their defaults, according to the "status" field. Besides, these options control __how_long__ before the stopped-script warning might appear, not __if__ it should appear in the first place.

Hi joeu2004

Edit: I see that you already have created a new thread, so let continue there.

<strike>Could you please start a new thread for your question?</strike>

Then you can provide more information like your operating system and installed extensions and installed plugins.

In this case the OP accidentally selected the "don't ask me" choice and this makes changes to pref settings. If you didn't do this then you have a different problem.
