Undoing "don't allow [website] to prompt me"

more options

Hello! A site kept popping up a confirmation window for an action I was trying to take, and in the confirmation window, there was a checkbox for something like "don't allow [this website] to prompt me again" (that's as best I can remember). I checked the box thinking it would just allow the action to happen without the confirmation window, but instead, the site just won't take that action anymore. How can I undo this setting? Thank you!

My guess is that was only for the current session, so after you quit Firefox and start it back up again (perhaps using History > Restore Previous Session), the site should once again be allowed to show its script dialogs.

Hello -

I have this same issue but cannot figure out how to get the notification to display this checkbox - where is this in settings. I have looked in Notification > Settings but cannot seem to enable.

Here is where you should find it -- is it missing on yours, or not working? (This is an older screenshot; the checkboxes are colored differently in Firefox 89+, at least on Windows.)
