FF won't restart in safe mode...it won't even shut down.

you know that soft clicking noise you can hear in your computer? Mine stopped doing that a little while ago. It's eerily quiet.
Also, I keep getting hung up. If I watch a video on youtube (for example) FF freezes & I have to shut down the plug-in container to get things going again.
I've tried restarting the computer, but it didn't help. My system idle process is showing the number 99 in my task manager's CPU column, & I think that's related to my problems. Sometimes when I open task manager I can see that CPU Usage (at the bottom) is at 100%, but in a second it usually goes back down to 15% or less.
SO I came to the FF support page, where it was suggested that I '''restart my browser in safe mode. But it won't restart. '''It won't even shut down all the way. FF & the plug-in container are both showing as open in Task Manager.
SO when I manually shut them down, & then open FF again & check my plug-ins, none of them have been disabled (as they should be if FF had restarted in safe mode).

By soft clicking noise, what exactly do you mean? If you are hearing a clicking noise in your computer that then stopped, it is possibly your hard drive dying, or a fan in the computer that dies. You shouldn't have "clicking" noises in a PC.
As for system Idle Process, that is just the percentage of the CPU that isn't being used, if that is at 99%, it means that only 1% of your CPU is being used at that moment.
Now, as for starting Firefox in Safe Mode, let's try this. Restart your computer, then while you start Firefox, hold down the Shift Key. You should have a small box open up with a bunch of checkboxes. Don't check any of them right now. Just Continue in Safe Mode. This is Firefox safe mode, all customizations, themes, addons, etc. will be disabled. If you don't get the freezing here, restart Firefox, and disable your add-ons one by one until you find the culprit.
Also, you can try updating your graphics driver to see if this is an issue with Hardware acceleration. [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/how-do-i-upgrade-my-graphics-drivers https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/how-do-i-upgrade-my-graphics-drivers] has more details.

How can I use Safe Mode to troubleshoot in Windows 8 or Windows 7?

QuestionHow can I use Safe Mode to troubleshoot in Windows 8 or Windows 7?
AnswerWindows has a special mode known as Safe Mode. It is not fully functional, but it allows you to make changes to the laptop to hopefully fix normal mode. We're going to attempt to boot into Safe Mode to use it fix the laptop.
For more information on how to boot into Safe Mode please see the following articles:
How To: Safe Mode and other Advanced Startup Options in Windows 8
Creating a System Repair Disc for Windows 8 (useful for entering Safe Mode)
How To: Start your Windows 7 computer in Safe Mode
Use Safe Mode to undo recent changes
When a computer won't start Windows, it's usually due to a recent change. If you installed a new piece of software before your laptop began to have trouble booting, you may want to uninstall it. Similarly, if you recently made a change to any system settings, you may want to change it back. If you have antivirus software, you may want to perform a scan. If you're not sure what to do here, feel free to skip to the next step!
Use Safe Mode to perform a system restore
Windows includes a utility called System Restore that can help with many problems. While this won't alter or remove any of your personal files, it will roll back your system settings and files to an earlier date. We'll use this to attempt to fix Windows.
To learn how to use System Restore, please check the following articles:
How To: Understanding System Restore, Refresh, Reset, and, Recovery options in Windows 8 + Video
How To: Perform a system restore in Windows 7
Use Safe Mode to initiate a clean boot
As Windows loads, it loads many additional components such as services and startup items. Some of these are not vital. For example, some tools start immediately with Windows, such as antivirus software. From Safe Mode, we can instruct Windows not to load many of these. This will help you determine if one is causing Windows not to load properly. Note that this step is more advanced than the previous steps. If it seems difficult for you, you may consider asking for help from someone who is more comfortable with computers.
Please view the following article for more information:
How can I perform a clean startup without my startup items to troubleshoot a problem?
If Windows loads normally, you'll know one of those startup items or services was causing the problem. If this is the case, you may want to return to the System Configuration Utility and re-enable some items and services to determine which specific one caused the problem.
Backing up your data
If you're able to enter Safe Mode, backing up your data should be easy. Connect a USB flash drive or external drive to your computer while in Safe Mode and then copy your important files to the flash drive or external drive.
You may also want to consider taking your computer to a professional.

Would love to know if this is possible. Found forums dating back years asking exactly the same thing, no solutions. And I do not want to change my headset (Sennheiser MM-50), or use the onboard mic (which sounds like you are using your Mac in a wind tunnel once the fans kick in).

What kind of issues do you have that you want to start Firefox in Safe Mode?
Can't you start Firefox at all?
It is possible that your security software (firewall, anti-virus) blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
Remove all rules for Firefox and the plugin-container from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full, unrestricted, access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.

I am trying to run Greasemonkey on Mozilla which is a mozilla add-on but my computer keeps running mozilla in safe-mode. I have uninstalled the add on and it still restarts in safe-mode.

I have been running Greasemonkey for about 3 - 4 weeks. working fine. A few bugs but nothing substantial.
However, today I downloaded a new user script. It too was working fine. I left my computer running and went out. When I came back I continued playing Kingdoms of Camelot.
I had to refresh the page and then got an error message
Power Tools ERROR!
X
The dependency "prototype.js" was not found.
Please reinstall Power Tools here.
If I check I notice that Mozilla is running in safe-mode.
I uninstalled the Greasemonkey add-on but Mozilla is still running in safe-mode.
I have restarted and rebooted. But it is still ion safe-mode.

HI
i have the same problem , but it's coming from the new version of GREASEMONKEY 0.9.0 .
I supose we can only wait of a new power ^^

How do I enter Safe Mode on my Satellite U300?

Does anyone know how to enter safe mode on my u300. tried the usual F8 without success
Any Ideas?
Have got "The User Profile Service failed the logon." and was going to try system restore to resolve it.
Any help would be appreciatted.

Hi
You can enter the advanced boot menu only using the F8 button.
Did you try to press it several times in row?
You should press it immediately after the notebook has been powered up!
Sorry but other way is not known to me
You could try to boot using an Windows Vista disk.. this could help to repair the OS.
In worst case you have to reinstall the OS... :(

How can I disable Safe Mode permanently?

I'm one of many people who use a Firefox addon called 'Leechblock' to help combat the tendency to waste time online by visiting time-wasting sites, or in my case - visiting porn sites. Leechblock helped, because it allowed me to ban the sites and search terms I would habitually go for. The only problem is that I'm now aware I can circumvent the whole ban thing by hitting 'Shift' when I click FIrefox and opening up the Safe Mode, this allows me to freely search for porn and\or disable the addon.
I know that several other people use Leechblock for the same purpose, and we've all come up against this - if we could disable Safe mode on our own version of Firefox, it'd take considerably more effort to get back in and fall back to those bad habits.
Others have posted instructions for disabling Safe Mode, but they've only worked with much older versions of Firefox. Is anyone with the experience able to dedicate a little bit of time to figuring out and explaining for the non-technical user how to do this on the latest version of Firefox?
Your help would be much appreciated, not only by me but by others with the same issue. Thanks!

See:
*CCK2 Wizard: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/cck2wizard/

Why is Firefox typing and cursor are slow upon a normal startup but everything works well when I restart in safe mode?

When I open FIrefox normally, the cursor movement is very jerky - seems to get stuck on every link. In addition typing in any box is delayed. When I restart with add-ons disabled and in safe mode, the cursor moves fine and typing is normal. I have disabled all my add-ons but that doesn't seem to help as each time I restart, the jerky cursor and delayed typing present again. What is wrong?

Thanks - that seems to have solved the problem

Unable to restart from safe mode

Problem: after running in 'Safe Mode', I restarted and it won't boot.
I push power button, and screen comes on with startup tone, then grey apple logo shows up, and a few seconds later, spinning wheel, but a progress bar is below it, and after a few seconds, wheel stops spinning, and screen goes to black and machine shuts down.

Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems.
See "Basic Troubleshooting: Make a new profile":
* https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Basic+Troubleshooting#w_8-make-a-new-profile
There may be extensions and plugins installed by default in a new profile, so check that in "Tools > Add-ons > Extensions & Plugins" in case there are still problems.
If that new profile works then you can transfer some files from the old profile to that new profile, but be careful not to copy corrupted files.
See:
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/Transferring_data_to_a_new_profile_-_Firefox
See:
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/Firefox_crashes
* https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Firefox+crashes
If you have submitted Breakpad crash reports then post the IDs of one or more Breakpad crash reports (bp-xxxxxxxx-xxxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx). You can find the IDs of the submitted crash reports on the about:crashes page. You can open the about:crashes page via the location bar, like you open a website.

How to get into Safe Mode (win7)

I have a user who installed Windows 7 on his Mac (natively). He now has a virus - which means he needs to run his AV software in SAFE MODE (running a scan in normal mode is usually a waste of time).
But.... how in the heck do I get his computer to boot into Safe Mode? On a PC, I would hit F8 at the Bios screen. But the Mac Bios is completely different.
Or will hitting F8 still work?

EFI is still a 'basic IO system' and while you can't booted into EFI setup screen, you can do Safe Mode. All computers have to bootstrap the system and have basic firmware supported method. UEFI will though have a harder time be adopted - though support for booting from GPT and 2.1TB volumes may force it.
For AV, I would strongly recommend Microsoft Security Essentials, free and darn good which was updated yesterday.
