Because, up until this occurred, I was happy with the way things worked. 
  It was nice to see my system work the way it was supposed to without 
needing different add-ins which could cause issues in the future.  I 
have run into add-ins that conflicted with each other in the past and to 
me, this WAS a feature that worked as advertised and prevented me from 
having issues.

If you run into issues with Firefox, you have to disable your plugins to 
test and that can be it's own headache.

I will be looking at plugins now that give me the same feature as Ask Me 
Every Time.
