Every time I run Firefox,

it should not keep asking me. it should remember that I ticked the "do not ask me" box.

This looks similar to bug 1516290, what's your OS / setup? Ubuntu / snap? Regular binary? Some other distro package? Something else?

We have no update, and all testing I could do would not repro. Closing as INVALID. Anyone still affected should reopen and share as much as infos as possible to reproduce the issue.
