RE: Missing in Firefox 3.5?

["Dan Goldstein" <DGoldstein -at- riverainmedical -dot- com>]

I found a German-local thread that discusses the missing check box:

Even when you manually add the "privacy.sanitize.promptOnSanitize"
setting under about:config and set it to True, it still doesn't work.

Based on the referenced bug fix,
<https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=469158> 
... it looks like the developers consciously decided to ignore the
reasonably possible use case that would require that check box.
