In Fx, go to about:config. In filter bar, enter noscript.confirmUnblock. Double-click it to toggle it back to "true". Close and restart the browser. Just tested this to confirm. Let us know if any further problems.

Close and restart the browser
Config changes are complete on the fly in Fx. You don't need to reboot.

Good catch. NS updates, etc. need a restart -- got them crossed in my feeble mind for a moment. Thanks.

Not that this user is immediately aware of, although that doesn't prove it doesn't exist. It's the same with a lot of Windows boxes: Once you check "Don't ask me again", or "Don't show me this again", sometimes you have to go fairly deep into the system to reverse that .
You're welcome. It's why the forum is here.
