Carlos,

I would like to do something so that the prompt never appears!

Something like this perhaps :

Take a screenshot, and file a complaint to FCC?? :)

That is dangerous wording. One might be tempted to press it. Of course I
know better. I would like to do something so that the prompt never appears!

That actually seems evil. Like the witch offering candy to the orphans.

Good. But it's a value judgment that extensions and personalization are
NOT essential. Given that I've spent decades on 'personalization' (much
of which has been eliminated with various updates, much to my great
anger) I donot regard such things so lightly. OTOH, occasional users
probably haven't done that so there's little to lose. Still...

Fixed that so it's actually clickable.Good to know that the stuff isn't permanently lost but is saved in a file. It would also be possible to go
back to the old profile, since a new one is created. I guess there are penalties for inattention, but perhaps they're less painful to the inattentive.

I know.

But its the difference between having nothing, and having a starting point
to what to look and/or search for.

Having taken a very quick look at it, it still works.
I posted something along those lines in the "doublespeak (refresh)"
thread a couple of days ago.

Firefox changes a lot, but sometimes pretty-damn little. :-)

Indeed you did.
