How do I move Firfox 3.6 out of safe mode??

Just downloaded firefox 3.6 and it appears fine but is in safe mode. Is there a way to move it out of safe mode

chicago773,
Some information was backed up the last time it synced, or prior to you starting an update. That information can be reloaded.
In recovery mode the information is essentially already lost. Some data recovery services might be able to recover data, but their cost is pretty high.
Hope this helps,
Nathan C.

Updated. See 3 new Qs at bottom...After XP system restore back to earlier FF version, FF won't open, it's in safe mode. How can it be opened out of safe mode? Can precious, previous History be retreived?

THIS IS A RE-POST OF THE QUESTIONS previously posted, PREVIOUSLY POSTED, now adding a request that 3 new summary questions--at the bottom--be answered.
NOTE: I specifically need answers to the 3 new, summary Qs now posted at the bottom of the Sequence of Events:
Sequence of events:
1) I was using Version 3.6.22 and I needed to
upgrade to Version 6.0.
2) Before beginning, I set a restore point in Windows XP so that in case I did not like 6.0, I could go back to the restore point which contained
3.6.22 and I would stick with that version.
3) I did not uninstall 3.6.22 but loaded 6.0 on top of it, so to speak, thinking that would save my history and other features such as bookmarks. Opening 6.0 I was horrified to see it did not contain my history files!...so I had to go back to 3.6.22.
4) After returning back to the restore point that contained 3.6.22, on the desktop, clicking on the Firefox icon, it won't open.
5) I went to desktop, in lower left clicked Start, then clicked Programs, and yes Firefox is there as an installed program, however the tag reads Mozilla Firefox (safe mode)...so it's in safe mode and won't
open. What now?---~~~~~(end of original post).
HERE ARE THE EXACT 3 Qs I need answered:
1) Can I retreive and save MY PRECIOUS HISTORY from somewhere? Can I force new 6.0 to find and retreive it from 3.6.22) And how would I do that? That's the reason I'm trying to go back to 3.6.22, because it likely still contains my history which does not appear in new install of 6.0?
2) As it stands, go back to previous state now has Firefox 3.6.22 in safe mode. It won't open after XP went back to previous state containing 3.6.22. File tree says Firefox is installed but is now in safe mode. So Q2 is: Can I open Firefox out of safe mode and if so how?--I'd be done because it likely still contains my history.
And if not, can I get retreive my history from it somehow? Or somehow get 6.0 to rediscover it hidden somewhere (Show All History in new 6.0 install was empty).
3) Do I have to give up on retreiving my history even though it's got to be somewhere in my computer? I did not uninstall anything.
If my history cannot be retreived, then I have no choice but to proceed in life with 6.0 without my precious History, a huge store of info and loss of data for me, big time!
FIREFOX HELP NEEDS TO TELL PEOPLE HOW TO SAVE THEIR HISTORY WHEN THEY UPGRADE TO NEW VERSION and whether or not to uninstall previous FF version first. Please pass this urgent advice on to Firefox techs. I can't even figure out how to email THEM!!!!
Thank you all out there in cyberspace whereever you may be!
(P.S. Cor el, thanks for your reply...how do I reach you by email link does not work....)

What in particular didn't you like about Firefox 6?
You can undo a lot of changes, either via changing settings or prefs on the <b>about:config</b> page or via extensions.
*https://support.mozilla.com/kb/common-questions-after-updating-firefox
Do a clean reinstall of the version that you want to use.
Download a fresh Firefox copy and save the file to the desktop.
*Firefox 3.6.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html
*Firefox 6.0.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html
* Uninstall your current Firefox version.
* Do not remove personal data when you uninstall the current version or you lose your bookmarks and other data in the profile folder.
Remove the Firefox program folder before installing that newly downloaded copy of the Firefox installer.
* It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
Your bookmarks and other profile data are stored elsewhere in the Firefox Profile Folder and won't be affected by a reinstall, but make sure that you do not select to remove personal data if you uninstall Firefox.

How can i get a iphone 3G out of recovery mode without restoring it

Need Help, How can I get a iPhone 3G out of recovery mode without restoring it. it has never been backed up so restoring it will loose all contacts etc.

You can't get it out of recovery mode without restoring it.
If it's in recovery mode, your data's almost certainly gone anyway.

How to get out of Safe Mode?

Hi,
I started up in safe mode and was able to trouble shoot a peripheral problem. However, I still have a HD icon on my desktop. How do I get out of Safe mode? I did restart a couple of times but the icon continues to appear.
Thanks!
S

If you have rebooted, then you are no longer in safe mode. The HD icon is not an indicator of being in safe mode. If you don't want to see hard drive icons on the Desktop, you can set that preference in Finder -> Finder menu -> Preferences -> General.

How can I take my Iphone 5 out of recovery mode if I do not want to restore my phone and my power button is broken?

Unfortunately, you will have to restore your iPhone...
From http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808 :
Note: When using recovery mode, you can only restore the device. All user content on the device will be erased, but if you had previously synced with iTunes on this computer, you can restore from a previous backup.

I wanted to trouble shoot, put comupter in safe mode , now its stuck , closed FF 3 times, re-started computer, still in safe mode.how do i get out of safe mode

i wanted to do trouble shooting, i put computer in safe mode & now i can not get out of safe mode. I've closed FF & re-started computer 3 times, even shut down computer, still in safe mode. What do i need to do to get out of safe mode?

Hi,
Please see this article: [[Firefox is stuck in Safe Mode]]
I hope that helps. Post back if not.
--Edward
EDIT: Just noticed that you already rebooted. You say that you "put computer in safe mode". Is firefox in safe mode or your whole computer?
If '''Firefox''' is stuck in safe mode despite reboot
* Check that the shift keys on your keyboard are not stuck down.
* Uninstall firefox and install again (your settings will not be lost as they are stored in your profile folder).
Let me know if neither of those works.

How do I enable an add-on in Firefox safe mode?

So recently I have had a problem with Firefox crashing all the time and found out it was an add-on that was causing the problem.
I have tried opening Firefox in safe-mode to disable add-ons but they are already disabled, so I want to know how to enable an add-on and then to permanently disable it so Firefox will open normally again. . .
I have already tried to permanently disable all add-ons by using the Firefox options box but nothing happens after I click on the 'make changes and restart firefox' button. After I click it nothing happens and it remains frozen. ([https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Safe%20Mode Safe mode Window])
So to make things short, how do I enable an add-on in Firefox safe mode?

In Firefox 4 and later [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Safe_mode Safe mode] disables extensions and also disables hardware acceleration.
*Tools > Options > Advanced > General > Browsing: "Use hardware acceleration when available"
If disabling hardware acceleration works then check if there is an update available for your graphics display driver.
You should still see a Disable button or Enable button (if you disabled them all) in the extension Manager (Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) if you start Firefox in Save mode.

Get out of safe mode in windows 8.1

How do I get out of safe mode in windows 8.1

Hi,
To get out of Safe Mode, you can try this:
Control Panel > icon view > Administrative Tools> System Configuration >
Boot Tab > UNCHECK Safe Boot
Then Restart.
If the you still fail to get out of safe mode, considering that corrupted drivers cause your issue:
Please open Device manager, and remove drivers about Video, audio, Network adapter, Bluetooth and additional USB device and try to reboot to see what's going on.

Need help getting out of safe mode.

It is my mother's thinkpad model 1838A11, I downloaded games for her through google play store, the apps show up in the apps section in the settings but no where else. Can't find them or play them, then noticed down in the bottom corner it says safe mode, I have very little experience with tablets but safe mode doesn't sound good to me. Could someone please tell me how to get it out of safe mode or tell me what else the problem may be, I've shut it off and back on while holding volume up and other things, but safe mode still pops up.
Thanks.

How do I force Lenovo Y560p to start in Safe Mode?

My Avira Anti-Virus program has alerted me to hidden viruses. These viruses can only be removed by booting up with an Avira Rescue Disk, or by starting the computer in Safe Mode and then running my anti-virus program in Safe Mode. My Lenovo Y560p will not bootup with the Avira Rescue Disk. Neither will it start in Safe Mode when I hold down F8 during startup. In both cases, Windows 7 (64bit) is starts normally, overriding the Avira Rescue Disk in the optical DVD drive or F8 being held down. (I've also tried F6.) How can I force the machine to start in Safe Mode, so that I can get rid of the hidden viruses?

Hi ecbritz,
Welcome to Lenovo Community.
There is no magic bullet. There is no one-size-fits-all. If you were to use an all-in-one (suite) such as Norton Internet Security, you would be getting the definitions from just one vendor. Different security vendors find different things. One also has to wonder if a company known for anti-virus protection is equally as good as one that specializes in firewall protection.This is not to say that more than one anti-virus should be installed. Use only one AV. A layered approach with "the best of all worlds" usually is advisable.
To address your question, I recommend Microsoft Security Essentials (free) or Eset's NOD32 Antivirus (paid). Over the years I have used Norton, Trend Micro, AVG, Avast!, MSE and NOD32. I have remained with MSE and NOD32 on my computers. None of my computers have ever had an infection.
For the next layer, I add Malwarebytes (free on-demand is good; paid with realtime protection is better).
As far as online browser security, along with your anti-virus and anti-spyware software, Web Of Trust , uses colored alerts to warn you about risky websites that try to scam visitors, deliver malware or send spam. Protect your computer against online threats by using WOT as your front-line layer of protection when browsing or searching in unfamiliar territory. WOT's color-coded icons show you ratings for 21 million websites, helping you avoid the dangerous sites:
Red for Warning = STOP
Yellow for Use Caution
Green for Safe
Grey for Unknown
There is a Web Of Trust version for Firefox as well.
You might also want to install SpywareBlaster: http://www.javacoolsoftware.com/spywareblaster.html
It will:
Prevent the installation of ActiveX-based spyware, adware, browser hijackers, dialers, and other potentially unwanted software.
Block spyware/tracking cookies in Internet Explorer and Mozilla Firefox.
Restrict the actions of potentially unwanted sites in Internet Explorer.

How do i get my ipod touch out of recovery mode

i originally had all of my music & apps on itunes on our computer, but our computer broke. so i connected my ipod touch to our macbook and updated to the new itunes, then backed up my ipod onto the mac. after that, i synced my apps onto the mac but i don't think i synced any of my songs (unless it automatically already did that when i backed it up?) i couldn't find my songs anyway since i don't really know how to use the new itunes ... then i tried updating to iOS 6 but it had some error and said it was error 6. on my ipod, i can't do anything because it tells me to connect to itunes. but when i connect my ipod to itunes, it says my ipod's in recovery mode and i need to restore it. i don't want to restore it and lose all of my apps, photos and songs. how do i get out of recovery mode?

You have to restore. for error 6
Errors related to third-party security software
Error 2, 4 (or -4), 6, 1000, 9006

How do I get my iPhone 4S out of Recovery Mode w/o restoring? (got stuck when upgrading to ios 7)

Last night I upgraded my iPhone 4S to ios 7, and this morning when I went to use it I was stuck in Recovery Mode - How do I get my iPhone 4S out of it w/o restoring? I have photos, contacts, etc Iwant to get off the phone. I tried Tiny Umbrella and RecBoot but no dice. I was not able to get any help from the Apple tech on the phone. They only suggestions offered were to check to see if iPhoto or the Finder would show my device so I could copy over my photos.
Thanks, Chad

See: Resolve iOS update and restore errors - Apple Support
That error usually means that your computer antivirus is blocking the update.
It can also mean that your phone was jailbroken, or your computer was used to jailbreak some iOS device in the past.
