Safe Mode is a debugging startup mode available in Firefox, Thunderbird, and SeaMonkey 2, where all added extensions are disabled, the default theme is used, and default localstore settings (toolbar settings and controls) are used. Safe Mode also disables hardware acceleration, the Just-in-time (JIT) JavaScript compiler, and any changes made via userContent.css and userChrome.css. Any changes made to preference settings remain in effect in Safe Mode, however, and all available plugins are used. To summarize:

• Safe Mode temporarily affects the following:

All extensions are disabled.

The default theme is used, without a persona.

The Just-in-time (JIT) JavaScript compiler is disabled.

The userChrome.css and userContent.css files are ignored.

The default toolbar layout is used.

Hardware acceleration is disabled.

• Safe Mode has no effect on the following:

The status of plugins is not affected.

Custom preferences are not affected.

Safe Mode also includes a number of troubleshooting options that allow you to make certain changes upon restarting your Mozilla application (see below).

Starting Safe Mode

All systems

• In current versions of Firefox, Thunderbird, and SeaMonkey 2, you can restart in Safe Mode via 'Help -> Restart with Add-ons disabled...'. A Safe Mode options window will appear when they restart (see below). [1][2]

To enter Safe Mode in previous versions (or if you can't open your Mozilla application to use the Help menu) you must first make sure Firefox/Thunderbird/SeaMonkey is not running in the background (including all windows like the Download Manager that open in a separate window) before following the instructions given below.

Windows

Use one of these methods to start your Mozilla application in Safe Mode. This should not be confused with restarting the computer in Windows Safe Mode!

• In current Mozilla application versions, hold down the Shift key while double-clicking the Firefox/Thunderbird/SeaMonkey icon. (If the Profile Manager opens, select a profile and then hold down the Shift key again while clicking the 'Start Firefox' button.) [3][4]

• In older versions, use the 'Mozilla Firefox (Safe Mode)', 'SeaMonkey (Safe Mode)', 'Mozilla Thunderbird (Safe Mode)', or 'Mozilla Thunderbird (No Extensions)' shortcut in the Mozilla Firefox, SeaMonkey, or Mozilla Thunderbird program folder on the Windows Start Menu.

As an alternative method, press 'Windows key + R' on the keyboard to open a Run dialog (or click 'Start → Run...' on Windows XP) and enter the following in the Run box:

For Firefox, one of these:

• firefox -safe-mode
• 'C:Program FilesMozilla Firefoxfirefox.exe' -safe-mode
• 'C:Program Files (x86)Mozilla Firefoxfirefox.exe' -safe-mode

For Thunderbird, one of these:

• thunderbird -safe-mode
• 'C:Program FilesMozilla Thunderbirdthunderbird.exe' -safe-mode
• 'C:Program Files (x86)Mozilla Thunderbirdthunderbird.exe' -safe-mode

For SeaMonkey, one of these:

• seamonkey -safe-mode
• 'C:Program FilesSeaMonkeyseamonkey.exe' -safe-mode
• 'C:Program Files (x86)SeaMonkeyseamonkey.exe' -safe-mode

Adjust the path accordingly based on the actual installation directory (e.g., on 64-bit Windows, use 'Program Files (x86)' instead of 'Program Files') or if you installed your Mozilla program in a different location than shown above.

Linux

On Linux, you can go to your Terminal and run (for Firefox):

• /path/to/firefox/firefox -safe-mode

Mac OS X

Hold down the Option key while starting your Mozilla application. (If the Profile Manager opens, select a profile and then hold down the Option key again while clicking the button to start Firefox, Thunderbird, or SeaMonkey.) [5]

As an alternate method, go to Utilities (in the Applications folder) and open Terminal, then run:

For Firefox:

• /Applications/Firefox.app/Contents/MacOS/firefox-bin -safe-mode

For Thunderbird:

• /Applications/Thunderbird.app/Contents/MacOS/thunderbird-bin -safe-mode

For SeaMonkey:

• /Applications/SeaMonkey.app/Contents/MacOS/seamonkey-bin -safe-mode

If you have installed the application to another location, modify the path as such. It's the '-safe-mode' command line parameter that's crucial here.

How to know you are in Safe Mode

Thunderbird and SeaMonkey 2.0

• All extensions will be disabled. You will still be able to select them in the Add-ons/Extensions list but only for the purpose of upgrading or uninstalling (the options button will be disabled).
• Default toolbar settings and controls will be used.
• The default theme will be used.

Firefox and SeaMonkey 2.1 or above

• A window called 'Firefox Safe Mode' or 'SeaMonkey Safe Mode' with some troubleshooting options appears (see below).

At that point, you can either continue to Safe Mode or select some troubleshooting options and restart in normal mode to apply the changes.

If you choose to continue in Safe Mode:

• All extensions will be disabled (but this will not reset any preferences that some extensions may modify).
• Firefox or SeaMonkey will be using the default theme.
• Default toolbar settings and controls will be used [6].

If you choose any of the troubleshooting options, the changes are only applied if you choose Make Changes and Restart.

Safe Mode options

Firefox 15 and above:

When you restart in Safe Mode, you will see a Firefox Safe Mode window with two buttons:

• Start in Safe Mode - This will run Firefox in Safe Mode without making any changes.
• Refresh Firefox ('Reset Firefox' previous to Firefox 35) - This will reset Firefox to a default state by creating a new profile, migrating only essential data (bookmarks, browsing history, passwords, cookies, and form-fill data) and then moving all of the old Firefox data to a folder on the desktop. Warning! This change cannot be reversed without manually transferring the old Firefox data back to the new profile.

/applications/firefox.app/contents/macos/firefox-bin

Note: In Firefox 48 and below, when multiple profiles exist, the 'Refresh Firefox' feature is only available in the 'default' profile (e.g., the last profile started in the Profile Manager, which would be the profile that includes the line 'Default=1' in the profiles.ini file). this option does not appear if you bypass the Profile Manager to start a non-default profile. This is fixed in Firefox 49 (bug 1265368). [7][8][9][10][11]

Firefox 14 and below, SeaMonkey 2, and Thunderbird:

Note: To run in Safe Mode without making any changes, just click the 'Continue in Safe Mode' button when the Safe Mode window appears. When you select the checkbox for any of these troubleshooting options and click the 'Make changes and restart' button, your Mozilla application will restart in normal mode with the selected changes. Warning: These changes will be permanent, meaning they will remain in effect in subsequent browser sessions. Some of these changes will be hard to reverse unless you have a recent profile backup.[12]

The following Safe Mode options are available in Firefox 14 and below, in current versions of SeaMonkey, and in Thunderbird, as indicated.

• Disable all add-ons - Disables all themes and extensions; starting in Firefox 3.5, this option also disables all installed plugins. [13] To reverse this change, use the Add-ons Manager to selectively re-enable each add-on when you restart Firefox (details here).
• Reset toolbars and controls (Firefox, Thunderbird) or Reset toolbars and window sizes (SeaMonkey) - Removes any toolbar customizations you may have made via the 'Customize Toolbar' dialog. Also restores default window size/position and tree sort order and resolves various localstore corruption issues. Warning: Unless you made a backup copy of localstore.rdf, this change cannot be reversed without re-customizing your toolbars.
• Delete all bookmarks except for backups (SeaMonkey or Firefox 3.6 and above [14]) or Reset bookmarks to Firefox defaults (Firefox 3.5 and below) - Replaces your bookmarks with the default set of bookmarks (your browsing history is left intact). If you select this option and want to undo the change, you will need to restore your bookmarks from backup.
• Reset all user preferences to (Firefox or SeaMonkey) defaults - Resets any user-set preferences to the default values (except for those set in the optional user.js file) and restores the default theme. Does not affect any userChrome.css or userContent.css changes. In SeaMonkey, selecting this option is not recommended because it removes all Mail and Newsgroup Account settings and access to saved mail will be lost for those accounts.Warning: This change cannot be reversed unless you made a backup copy of the prefs.js file.
• Restore default search engines - Adds back all of the default search engines included with your version of Firefox or SeaMonkey, if some are missing. It does not remove any added search engines and you can later remove any unwanted search engines that were added back.

Buttons

• Make Changes and Restart - This restarts the application in normal mode and applies permanent changes in any of the options selected above.
• Continue in Safe Mode - Starts the application in Safe Mode (this will not apply any of the options selected above).
• Exit

To display web pages, Firefox uses the Gecko layout engine, which implements most current web standards in addition to several features which are intended to anticipate likely additions to the standards. Latest Firefox features include tabbed browsing, spell checking, incremental find, live bookmarking, a download manager, private browsing, location-aware browsing (also known as 'geolocation') based exclusively on a Google service and an integrated search system that uses Google by default in most localizations. Functions can be added through add-ons, created by third-party developers, of which there is a wide selection, a feature that has attracted many of Firefox's users. Mozilla Firefox is a cross-platform browser, providing support for various versions of Microsoft Windows, Mac OS X, and Linux.
