How do stop FireFox from offering to reset my profile?

Every time I restart FireFox (seems to be longer than FF's check for "Haven't started in awhile") or run it on a machine I haven't used ineractively for awhile, it offers to delete my add-ons, add-on settings and about:config settings. How do I make it stop offering to do that?

You can create a new Boolean pref with the name browser.disableResetPrompt and set its value to true to disable this notification.

  • browser.disableResetPrompt = true

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.
