I am not the most knowledgeable about computers. So if someone could give me the step by step instructions, it would be greatly appreciated. Does anybody know how to do the following,

I used 7z to extract from the browser.jar file to files called Safemode.js & SafeMode.xul. I then used skpet to make the (cancel) option the only one, so safe mode can never run.

the part above was an extract from the link below.

You could try posting in one of the Mozilla Development forums over at MozillaZine.

I am not a big fan of editing core browser files like that, because you can have unexpected results in other functions that may not seem related to what you are trying to "fix". Plus, all it can take is one security update to replace your edited file with a new version of that file and you efforts are wasted.

IMO, you're better off just deleting the Mozilla Firefox (SafeMode) Programs menu item, and also removing the "Run..." menu item from the Start Menu. That should keep users from being able to access the Firefox SafeMode (and the Profile Manager, too).
