One of the attendees at a PC Workshop had a problem while running Firefox. I use my portable hard drive to run Firefox on PCs at the school which hosts the workshop and I wanted to show him how to run Firefox in Safe Mode. I couldn't see any way to do this. It would be handy to be able to do this with Portable Firefox.

Firefox forum would been a better spot for this.... but anyway, it works just fine from the run command not the menu.
'Start' -- 'Run'
Find your portable firefox folder, and use the command -safe-mode like this...
H:\PortableApps\FirefoxPortable\FirefoxPortable.exe -safe-mode
Works for me...:)

Did you know that the entire operating system use to fit on a 5 1/4" floppy disk!
or
copy the ini file from FirefoxPortable\Other\FirefoxPortableSource to \FirefoxPortable and add -safe-mode to the AdditionalParameters= line.
Should work too.
Just make sure you delete the ini afterwards (if you copied it the original will still be there) cause otherwise it will always start n safe mode.

But FirefoxPortable is not in your search patch so the bat file would need to be in the same folder as FirefoxPortable.exe for it to work.
Of course, we already know that... What are 'PC Workshops' anyway...
