Today when I wanted to update Franco kernel with his application I noticed that somehow my superuser have stopped working completely.
I have root but I don't get prompted with the "give root access" windows when opening apps.
What can I do to fix this?

You might try installing superSU from Google Play and switch granting root access to this app in the SU settings.
Is Superuser set to "Prompt" in the settings?

Are your rooted apps actually working fully?
Guess you could try going to Settings > Apps and clear data on superuser before rebooting.

Sounds like you've become unrooted.
Try re-rooting again?
Are you running stock? If so, did this problem appeared after upgrading to 4.2.2? System Updates usually-if not always- break root. Just download Root Checker from the Play Store to check if you still have root access, if not then you must root it again

Did you update superuser on market? I found out by updated this application it will cause problems to your applications needing root acces.... Fix::: uninstall update of superuser app in market... Once done this... Select superuser from your phone and at the screen popup hit ok... It will revert back to working superuser... Meaning your apps needing root will work once again....

An even newer update to superuser should have fixed this.
Can anyone offer a suggestion why applications that need root are denied even though I have cm9 installed? Superuser just keeps denying them when I try to give them root, like Apex Launcher (It needs root for certain widgets)
maybe go the play store and see if there is an update for the superuser app or open the app and update the SU binaries. if that doesn't work, maybe try reflashing CM9 [just wiping delvik cache] and see if that reminds it it is indeed rooted.
Try app called rootcheck to verify you are properly rooted:
I'm not

Oke so the app tells me I'm not rooted, is there an easy fix for that? Seems kinda weird seeing as its a custom rom.

Install busybox installer from the market and install/update busybox. See if that fixes your issues. Also try installing SuperSu from the market, opening it, and updating su binary when it opens.
Did you run the busybox free app?

I installed busybox installer and when I try to install/update it says it failed. As for SuperSu, it doesn't give me an option to update the su binary.

I ran busybox free and it says it's unable to verify whether or not certain utilities needed for this app to run are present and functional on my device. This problem could be caused by a device that is not properly rooted or by superuser settings that are misconfigured

Likely not but thought i'd ask - Did you update to 4.1.1 after initially rooting?

Did you have the apps that use root before you rooted? I've noticed with some apps (that work with and without root) sometimes dont register that root is installed on your device so perhaps you should try redownloading them from the play store.

I've had the apps for a while on my droid x but I waited until after I rooted to also install them on the N7. I also tried uninstalling them and reinstalling them but they still don't work.

When you take an update it unroots your device. Re-root it with the tool and you'll be fine.

He should've used voodoo over the air rootkeeper to back up n save his root. So once you update, you can easily restore rot with one click in that app instead of having to use roottoolkit again.

I feel like a moron especially since I froze the updater on my droid x, I'll give it a try when I get home from work, is there anything special I should do or will I just have to click the root button?

I will have to look at this app.
I will report back later.
Just rerooted and it looks like everything is working, thanks everybody
I was using device perfectly till today. I've installed nocturnal kit lastly. Don't know if it's related to this or not but it seems i've lost my root access. Now I can't use CM file manager which was working well and can't edit any app's settings in paranoidandroid. Both need root access. It keeps saying "couldn't get privileges" So is it possible to lose root by installing apps, mods or any software issues?
Not likely. Just go to your superuser app and make sure root access is being given.

checked su app and all root needed apps are seems to have access but they don't work I'm gonna wipe and reflash I think.
Try wiping cache for superuser. And you can try switching to superSU, it's better than the original.

get the supersu app from the market, free. install it, open it, then press yes when it asks you to update your su binaries. supersu works well for jelly bean, superuser is hit and miss.

Tried that too. Also wiped cache & dalvik and didn't work.
So, I just found out where the link was hiding. Working great so far.
How about if you click on the big (Greek) lambda symbol?

You have to go to SuperSu and unroot from there.
Setttings > Full Unroot > Continue.
Wait for it to prompt you to reboot and you're done
SuperSU issue
So... the root worked fine. I checked with Root Checker, and it's all good in the 'hood. HOWEVER, when I installed SuperSU, it tells me that the "Installation Failed"... second "however", though, is that when I run an app requiring elevated permissions, SuperSU pops up just like it should, and everything works. Very curious.

It's a known issue, as long as you have SuperSU popping up asking for permissions and your root checker shows green, I wouldn't worry. It happened to the wife's S5, and that was 3 months ago, and she's still rooted.
You could also try and re-dl the latest, I believe 2.01, in the playstore and see if that helps if you are that worried about it.

Yes. Once rooted, the app doesn't have to be installed.
