Can't get rid of the dialog box "firefox wants to use the font..." even after checking "do not ask me again."

Whenever I start Firefox, I am presented with the dialog box:

[Firefox wants to use the font "Avant Garde Mono ITCTT BoldIta" on the volume "RockStar".

This font is not installed. Allow Firefox to use this font?

Do not ask me again for Firefox]

I check the box "Do not ask me again," click "Allow," and then browse normally. But every time I reopen Firefox (same session, after restart, makes no difference), I get the same dialog box.

Annoying!

No - didn't work. Looked promising for a moment, then it came right back.

Thanks for the post, though!
