You should change these options only if you're an experienced user. New or inexperienced users should use the options dialog to change their settings.
The options can be changed by surfing to about:config and changing the corresponding entries.
Currently there is no way to re-enable the confirmation dialog if you have disabled it once. Switch this preference to re-enable it.
Intelligent whitelisting will automatically whitelist links that redirect to the same host. Here's an example:
http://www.ebay.com?redirectTo=http://www.ebay.com/login
If intelligent whitelisting is enabled, above link won't be cleaned. This kind of redirect is often used to take you to the site you were viewing before you logged in (on eBay, for example). Above link can be located on any page or site, even the ones not related to eBay and still won't be cleaned (as RDR works LINK based).
You can use this to turn the whitelist into a blacklist. It's not a full blacklist though, this pref merely "switches" whatever RDR found to be whitelisted. This means that all other features still think that the list behaves as a whitelist – and thus use the wrong icon or do something other weird. I haven't tested this feature and won't fix any bugs you find if you switch this pref, because I deem a blacklist for what RDR does to be useless.

Make RDR use a blacklist
extensions.rdr.blacklistYou can use this to turn the whitelist into a blacklist. It's not a full blacklist though, this pref merely "switches" whatever RDR found to be whitelisted.
