How To Run Firefox in Safe Mode in Ubuntu

Posted by Panji Nushantara | Thursday, May 20, 2010

One of Firefox strong points is its massive library of add-ons, but from great add-ons comes great consequences, e.g : they will make your Firefox crawl or even stop working at all. That's when you need Firefox safe mode, the pure Firefox to redeem your Firefox back.
And that's one thing lack in Firefox installation in Ubuntu, safe mode shortcut. So these are ways to make one , in Start Menu :
  • right click Start Menu -> Edit Menus
  • Add New Item Under Internet Folder (or whichever you prefer), and type firefox -safe-mode in command. Like this :
  • While you're at it, you can choose its icon too
In Desktop shortcut :
  • right click at desktop -> create launcher
  • you'll find same dialog box like above.
The hard way, just press Alt-F2 and type that command every time you need it.
