getting Firefox to stop asking this question


Firefox keeps asking this question as seen in this image (warning, it is big HD size, 1920x1080) http://ipal.net/lq/20210925/20210925174739656810522.png

i don't want to add this. when i click the X over on the right, it goes away for this session. when i start Firefox up again to go there, i get the same question, again. they really need a "No, do not add this" button to make it stay away and maybe also an "Ask me again, later" button.

that looks like the right direction. i'll have to try that when i get some time.

it's a shame that Firefox developers are allowed to make misfeatures like that. there should be a "NO, do not add this" button that remembers that this application has been answered. a preferences or settings item should list the answers and allow editing the list.
