Is there a way to change the hotkey for starting firefox in safe-mode?
The current default hotkey is shift. Holding it when starting firefox will start it in safe mode (true story). My super duper favorite handy windows hotkey for starting programs pinned to the task bar in windows 7 is windows_key + shift + #, and that conflicts with the firefox setting, and i always end up starting firefox in safe mode because im that lazy.

Opening in Safe mode should only happen if only the Shift key is pressed. Firefox doesn't seem to recognize the Windows key as a special (status) key. So you can try to change that shortcut to one that requires extra status keys (Ctrl or Alt) to be pressed.
Ahhh thankyou so much. Holding down the ctrl key doesn't mess with the windows shortcut and does the expected job of preventing firefox from starting in safe mode. So smart!

I'm an irssi user, and I have awesome mouse gesture addon for it, and I'm afraid I can't live without it anymore.. But it requires Shift key for opening links, therefore Firefox, as my default browser, always starts in Safe mode :(
I'm not a programmer, easiest workaround would be modifying the irssi addon, but I suck on that, too.
If there's a way to bypass Safe Mode in Firefox, or at least a way to change the Shift key to something else, that would make my miserable life a tad easier.
