Although it still begs the question of why the

Robert,

My apologies for misleading you on starting FF in Safe Mode. It was not
intentional.

J.P. is correct about how to enter FF's Safe Mode. You will get a
message to start in Safe Mode, or Refresh Firefox. I don't know what
Refresh does, but my suspicion is, you will get a new profile to work with.

To return to the old profile, you will need to edit profiles.ini, which
is a hidden file in your hidden App Data folder.
