Prevent easy bypass of add-ons via safe mode
I am a computer novice looking for a solution to a FF issue. I currently use add-ons to restrict my FF usage, and the publicfox addon to password protect any add-on changes. I recently discovered that you can bypass addons by starting FF in safe mode. Do you have any suggestions to prevent easy bypass of ff addons, even it is just password protected? Thanks.

You won't be a novice for long! If you hack a couple of Firefox's program files, you can kill Safe Mode: How to *permanently* disable Firefox Safe Mode option? (skip down toward the end for the latest procedures -- as of 2001, not sure it's completely up-to-date).
Note that this probably can be reverted simply by re-running the Firefox installer, so might not be worth the trouble.
If the issue is that other people who share your computer are messing up your Firefox, what do you think about creating separate user accounts? Or you can create multiple Firefox profiles, which are separate folders with their own settings, history, cache, etc. You can modify the Firefox desktop icon to point to one particular profile, so each person has their own icon to use. Not sure this gets at what you're trying to accomplish...
