How do I reset MathJax settings in IPython?

Question

I wanted to change the formatting of my equations in the IPython notebook (Jupyter) and right clicked on the equation to bring up the MathJax menu. I selected SVG as the rendering type. Now, I'm getting raw Latex in the notebook.

Problem is I can't revert the change because I can't find any MathJax output to right click on! How can I reset the MathJax settings?

I've tried reinstalling MathJax using IPython.external.mathjax, but that didn't work. I've also tried clearing the MathJax cache from within Safari preferences without luck.

[Update] I'm noticing I get two messages from MathJax in the bottom corner of my display as it loads. One is "Loading [MathJax]/extensions/Safe.js", the other is "File failed to load: http://localhost:8888/static/components/MathJax/jax/output/SVG/config.js"

I think that later one must refer to the path in my Anaconda IPython install, but there is no SVG directory at all.

How do I get MathJax to stop looking there?

When a user changes settings via the MathJax context menu, MathJax creates a domain-specific cookie mjx.menu. If you remove that cookie, MathJax will revert to the defaults configured by the page.
