  • how to run firefox in safe mode from command line

    Sometime you need to run firefox from the command just to rectify something about it.Means,if some of the addon broke you firefox setting or theme broke your ff setting then fall back to commandline i.e shell and type the mentioned command. It will open up an information box with few option along with the checkbox besides them(means you can select them) to start the web browser in safe mode.Besically deactivating all the addon and theme,except the default one.Once you are done/rectified thing ..close that session and reopen the browser normally.It should work.
