Portable version of Mozilla created using vinrar archiver with the already installed version of Mozilla. Works fine, the problem is that I need this portable version that I created, always start in Safe Mode. All tips in the internet, record safe mode at the end of the path in the shortcut is not working. Help make sure that when you run this portable version "window appears to run in safe mode", or just been run in this mode. Thank You.

Safe mode:


Hello,

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

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

  • Click the menu button New Fx Menu, click Help Help-29 and select Restart with Add-ons Disabled.

If Firefox is not running, you can start Firefox in Safe Mode as follows:

  • On Windows: Hold the Shift key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
  • On Mac: Hold the option key while starting Firefox.
  • On Linux: Quit Firefox, go to your Terminal and run firefox -safe-mode
    (you may need to specify the Firefox installation path e.g. /usr/lib/firefox)

When the Firefox Safe Mode window appears, select "Start in Safe Mode".

SafeMode-Fx35

If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode, your problem is probably caused by an extension, theme, or hardware acceleration. Please follow the steps in the Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems article to find the cause.

To exit Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.

When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help others with the same problem.

All that you have written above, I tried it, it does not solve my problem. I need to run a portable version at once in safe mode using a shortcut.

What do you mean by

version of Mozilla created using vinrar archiver with the already installed version of Mozilla.

Are you compressing ordinary Firefox program files transporting them then unarchiving and running them. Or maybe you are just using the installer.

Or are you asking about the third party unoficial build Firefox Portable ( From http://portableapps.com/apps/internet/firefox_portable )

I don't know what you built, but -safe-mode is the correct command line argument for SafeMode. It needs the hyphens.

I have created a portable version of the previously installed Mozilla. Instruction on video. Ie I have created a portable version, with all its settings. Question: How do I start in Safe mode through the shortcut? -safe-mode is not working.

Video was too generic to see what you did specifically with Firefox to make it "portable".

Portable Mozilla from your site does not suit me, it in English, I communicate with you using Google translator. The question remains open.

What language do you need to use ?

Firefox portable is not from this site. It is an unofficial build from someone else.

We seem to be going in circles here. Sorry, but we don't know exactly what you built yourself, and what may have broken -safe-mode in the process. This forum is intended for user support for the official builds of Firefox from Mozilla, but "we" are flexible and try to support (as best we can) whatever "version" users ask about; whether it be Portable Firefox or a "spun-my-own" variety from source.

There are other forums for "developers" issues, where someone might be able to help you better than we have been able to help you thus far. http://www.mozilla.org/about/forums/#general-development

I am curious which language (localization) you need, that Portable Apps doesn't have available?

My answer to your message, the issue with the version of the solution, localization need to eat it, I just did not know where to look. Thanks to the user John99, I found that a portable version that I need. Now the question is, is it possible to set it up as I need to. I need: Run through the shortcut mozila in safe mode (this is) After starting the Mozilla open the site I want (it is) After starting the Mozilla open to full screen with the included adaptive design (this is not) It will look like this: Click 2 times on the label - the window "run in a safe" yes, Mozilla launched in full-screen mode with an adaptive design and go to the site which is registered at the start. Such a start Mozilla can do?

Your questions may be answered better on some other forum. If we know what language you speak we may be able to find somewhere that you may obtain help in your own language.

You do not understand the question that I ask you? Maybe you do not have a solution?

If you are asking about modifying Firefox that is outside the scope of this forum, other than using the User Interface and addons. There are other places where such questions may be answered.

The language problem may make it difficult to understand one another fully.

Did you manage to start firefox in safe mode ok by using the run option ? From a shortcut or run option you add -safe-mode You my also append (add to the end) a site address. Both may be combined. You should be able to open firefox on a named site in safemode.

firefox.exe -safe-mode https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1074228
