You may know about the famous (or infamous) Windows Safe Mode as the case may be. Whenever the Windows operating system crashes and encounters random crashes and BSODs, you should always deal with them using Safe Mode. In this mode, Windows has reduced functionality with minimal device and application software services running in the background to allow you to diagnose problems without problems.
So it’s about solving Windows problems, but that’s not what I’m going to talk about today. That was just the introduction I gave before I could get started with Firefox’s Safe Mode feature and how you can use it to troubleshoot when it starts crashing all of a sudden.
Firefox’s Safe Mode feature runs the browser with all add-ons, themes, and Java Scripts disabled. With all scripts and extensions disabled, Firefox’s Safe Mode makes it easier to pinpoint the exact problem. To start Firefox in Safe Mode, open the Run command, type in firefox.exe –safemode and press enter to display the Firefox Safe Mode dialog window.
On this window you can manually disable a few things and start the browser in normal mode, or just press the Continue button to start Safe Mode.
In Safe Mode, Firefox will look as good as new with all add-ons and themes disabled. Since most Firefox problems are caused by incompatible and unstable add-ons, go to the add-ons tab to disable some of your latest installed add-ons. You may need to use trial and error here to find the key.
Now you can simply exit Safe Mode and try running your browser normally. The best chance is that your browser will be fixed. If not, try disabling all add-ons next time. However, if the problem persists, you can backup all personal Firefox settings and proceed with the reinstallation (it should be a last resort).
Sometimes, Firefox may go into a Safe Mode loop even after you exit it. To solve the problem, end any running Firefox processes using the task manager or simply restart your computer.
If it’s Chrome, I would simply ask you to sync all your Chrome data to the cloud using your Google account, then reinstall the browser but sadly, Firefox doesn’t have an easy way to back up all your personal data and add-ons so you should always seek and resolve the issue before taking strict measures.
