Firefox has decided to open in safe mode - what do I do now?

• Firefox does not start unless in safe mode, what to do?

  One day, Firefox, Windows Explorer, or Windows Mail will start up. No explanation as to why. I have a connection to the internet, my virus definitions are up to date and a program that I use and which works through Remote Desktop says I'm connected to the internet. Firefox starts in safe mode, but even if I reset it doesn't start off safe mode.

  Hey, installed new drivers for the video card and it works perfectly. It wasn't a good intuitive solution - it did not make sense to me beforehand that it was likely to work, but it worked so - so much for my intution!
  Thank you!

• I don't have a navigation bar and firefox does not open in safe mode to return to the default configuration. Does not work reinstall. Any help please.

  I have no navigation bar since I closed it to have more space on the screen. It will not re - open. Firefox does not open in safe mode, but immediately opens in normal mode with the new configuration incorrect, so I can't reset to default configuration. I deleted Firefox and re-installed and it always opens with the same faulty configuration. Why doesn't Firefox give me the safe mode dialog box, why can I not re - open the navigation bar, and how I can do those two things, please? Firefox is currently unusable for me without a navigation bar with no access to the default settings in safe mode. I can't search the extensions that I use since I have no navigation bar to go to tools, modules, Extensions.

  This has happened

  Each time Firefox opened

  I closed the navigation bar to make more space on the screen and I could not re - open.

• Firefox opens in safe mode. Have reinstalled, tried resetting, updating plug-ins, rebooted computer... nothing works.

  I tried all the possible solutions, and it always opens in safe mode. Can someone please call me or HELP?

  As mentioned, you can get that back by following the instructions in the controls to customize Firefox, buttons and toolbars. You can learn tips and tricks at the same time.

  Thank you.

• Text of the Web site is not displayed. Could not open in safe mode because I can't see the text.

  All web pages show only the images no text. The display is normal in Chrome. I'm unable to open in safe mode, because the drop down menus have no text. I prefer not to remove and reload firefox as I don't want to lose the bookmarks and saved passwords. Some would like to help. Thank you.

  Open in safe mode and went very well. Graphics Accelerator box unchecked and back to normal. Thank you very much for the excellent help.

• Could not open in safe mode; Impossible to uninstall ESET; Impossible to uninstall RegEdit

  1 problem started trying to uninstall ESET antivirus.  Error message says that C:\Program Mechanic\Data\map.ddat Registry; C:\Program mechanic\DAta\values.dat Registry; and this: \Program Files\Registry mechanic\Data\keys.dat is missing and need to reinstall.  Don't know how to do this.  With this number, ESET says to uninstall in safe mode.

  2. for safe mode, by Windows F1 help, the "shut down" instructions say, select "restart and you select 'safe mode'.  I "turn off computer" but not "shut down" and have all the options to select Safe mode.  I tried several times to restart the computer and tapping F8 to open in safe mode.  It does not work.  By Windows, a virus may prevent it from working?   I don't know how to fix.

  3 tried to uninstall Reg Edit (don't know where that came from).  Say unistall file error message is missing.  Don't know what to do.

  Help, please.  I have no antivirus protection at the present time.  Your help would be greatly appreciated.

  Reference error messages Registry Mechanic, which has nothing to do with the antivirus/ESET security products. Using a "cleaner" as Registry Registry Mechanic probably corrupted your computer. I don't know why you try uninstalling NOD32, but to switch to secure Mode, you must turn off your computer, and then restart it. As the computer restarts, repeatedly press the F8 key. That you will get the diagnosis menu where you can use your arrow to select Mode without failure.

  I don't know what you mean by "Reg Edit" either, but my guess is that your computer is infected and that you or someone else using the computer installed all kinds of registry cleaners/optimizers garbage in a vain attempt to get it repaired. Uninstalling these programs and perform in-depth analysis of malware.

  Go through these stages of systematically General malware removal:
  http://www.elephantboycomputers.com/page2.html#Removing_Malware

  Do not skip the preparatory work.

  If you can't do the work yourself (and there is no shame in admitting this isn't your cup of tea), take the machine to a professional computer repair shop (not your local equivalent of BigComputerStore/GeekSquad). Please be aware that not all shops are skilled at removing malware, and even if they are, your computer may be so infested that Windows will have to be properly installed. If possible, have all your data backed up before taking the machine into a shop.

  The alternative is to backup your data and do a restore clean factory/install of Windows.

• Can not open in safe mode / clear the cache because firefox is frozen

  I tried to load a page which seems to have had a built-in buggy video ad, and now Firefox is stuck. It stops responding, but when I force quit and reopen it, it opens the offending page, still too and it freezes again. I tried to restart my computer and reinstall Firefox and the problem continues to be. I can't follow the advice I've seen here on open mode without failure or clear my cache, because Firefox crashes before I can do it. I there a way to make these Firefox outdoors? I use Mac OS X 10.6.8 if that matters.

  Thank you!

  Hello

  Try Firefox Safe mode to see if the problem goes away. Firefox Safe mode is a troubleshooting mode that temporarily disables hardware acceleration, restores some settings and disables add-ons (extensions and themes).

  If Firefox is open, you can restart Firefox Safe mode in the Help menu:

  • Click the menu button

    

    click Help

    

    then select restart with disabled modules.

  If Firefox does not work, you can start Firefox in Mode safe as follows:

  • On Windows: Hold down the SHIFT key when you open the desktop Firefox or shortcut in the start menu.
  • On Mac: Hold the option key during the startup of Firefox.
  • On Linux: Exit Firefox, go to your Terminal and run firefox-safe-mode
    (you may need to specify the installation path of Firefox for example/usr/lib/firefox)

  When the Firefox Safe Mode window appears, select "start mode safe."

  

  If the problem is not present in Firefox Safe Mode, your problem is probably caused by an extension, theme or hardware acceleration. Please follow the steps described in the section Troubleshooting extensions, themes and problems of hardware acceleration to resolve common Firefox problems to find the cause.

  To exit safe mode of Firefox, simply close Firefox and wait a few seconds before you open Firefox for normal use again.

  When find you what is causing your problems, please let us know. This might help others with the same problem.
