Is there a way to open FFP (or FF) in "safe mode", i.e. without loading extensions? I installed an extension which now has crashed my firefox, and I don't really feel up to the task of rebuilding my 30 extensions with all of my settings.
Thanks

You need to start it with the -safe-mode commandline parameter. You can open a DOS window and launch FirefoxPortable.exe with that switch. It'll pass it on to firefox.exe and open in safe mode. Or you can grab the FirefoxPortable.ini file from the FirefoxPortable\Other\FirefoxPortableSource and copy it to the FirefoxPortable directoy. Set the option AdditionalParameters=-safe-mode
Sometimes, the impossible can become possible, if you're awesome!
Thanks John, you are the Yoda of our portable world!
