> In the course of resolving a help desk ticket in which the user claimed
to have permanently disabled this warning across TB sessions, I tried to
use about:permissions to view/change the stored preference, but nothing
showed up. I advised the user to reinstall Tor Browser, but I don't know
whether there is a more efficient way of doing this.
I forgot this ticket already existed — thanks for finding it, harmony!
The user ''should only need to restart'' Tor Browser to reset all canvas
permissions. If a complete reinstall is needed, then that would likely be
another bug (because it would mean that Tor Button is not properly
clearing all browser state when "New Identity" is selected and/or when the
browser is restarted).
