I had a Javascript 'alert' box appear on a page I am developing, and clicked on the tickbox to hide further dialogue boxes from that page. Now I want to see the alert boxes again, but I can't find a way to make them appear. Please can anyone advise?
I have tried the following so far:-
- Restart Firefox
- Erase all cookies for the webpage under deveopment
- Search 'Options' for an applicable setting
- Looked in about:config for an applicable setting

Firefox 7.0.1 wiped out ability
- to test JavaScript from the location bar, say goodbye to JavaScript tutorials
- invoke JavaScript in any manner from the location bar, either directly or with a keyword shortcut.
- resize or move windows with JavaScript
See bug references in
As a result
- I can no longer place windows on screen where and how I want them.
- Can no longer test/modify/fix at the location bar from code such as in the MozillaZine page above.
Design a browser for idiots and only idiots will want to use it.
I guess that wasn't your problem (yet).
Perhaps you are using the "NoScript" extension, but it starts out by default with JavaScript blocked, and "Yes Script" is no longer supported. Do you know what extension you are using to block JavaScript. You might look in about:config and filter on your site as the filter looks at both variables and values.
Unless you blocked all JavaScript Tools > Options > Content > ...
- or from "Firefox" button > Options (right side) > Options > Content > ...
