It's a 'Windows-only thing', I suspect. I wasn't sure enough to mention this
in my previous post, although I truly wanted to. I am sure I saw it once,
but not under GNU/Linux and, besides, this might be a command-line option.
If Windows users want safe mode Firefox, they should wipe their machine or
SSH to a remote host. Many vulnerabilities are Windows-specific.
Best wishes,
