You can open Firefox in safemode, but you can't directly see the safe mode option.

1. Open Firefox.

2. Open the menu.

3. At the bottom of the menu you will see a ? (help) - click on it.

4. Select start with add-ons disabled.

A pop-up appears.

Click on restart.

Now another pop-up appears.

Click on start in safe mode.

Hold Shift while Firefox is starting. A dialog will appear with two buttons: Start in Safe Mode and Refresh Firefox.
