User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; Win64; x64; rv:6.0a1) Gecko/20110511 Firefox/6.0a1 Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; Win64; x64; rv:6.0a1) Gecko/20110511 Firefox/6.0a1 Sometimes Firefox will just crash on start. So how about re-adding useful shortcut in Start menu, as we now have Tasks in Windows 7 we can use it. I know we have a keyboard shortcut like SHIFT for it, but clickable GUI shortcut should be also present. Reproducible: Always
Summary: Add Safe Mode option in Tasks in Start → Add Safe Mode option in START under Task feature
Though they both involve safe mode there is no dependency between this bug and bug 598779 so removing. This has been discussed previously and I believe there is already a bug to add items to the task list.
OK, I removed it faster :P But I can't find dupe of this. Maybe don't look to deep.

Safe mode task still doesn't exist on Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; Win64; x64; rv:14.0) Gecko/20120412 Firefox/14.0a1 ID:20120412030726

Adding regression keyword as "Mozilla Firefox (Safe Mode)" existed as I remember correctly. Now I would like to know what development team think about it.
Note: a shortcut for safe mode existed and was removed per the Firefox UX team. Though I am in favor of it being added to the shortcut task list on Win7, etc. that doesn't make this a regression and having said that I am also fine with leaving the regression keyword since the definition of regression varies widely.

It has been 5 years without any activity, I think it is safe to say that we are not going to implement it.
