Reset all user preferences to Firefox defaults

I think Reset all user preferences to Firefox defaults will reset extension prefs to thier defaults that are stored in user.js too but I would like confirmation. --Kbrosnan 08:39, 2 December 2005 (UTC)

I tested the "Reset all user preferences to Firefox defaults" Safe Mode option in a Firefox 1.5 test profile where I had set the browser.bookmarks.file preference to a new location in the user.js file. Other preferences were reset to default values, but the "browser.bookmarks.file" preference remained the same and the user.js file itself remained untouched. I added the user.js exception to the article. Alice Wyman 23:42, 17 August 2006 (UTC)

Screenshot of safe mode dialog

I am testing a screenshot of the safe mode dialogue. Hao2lian suggested using wikimedia commons. I attempted to link the image via the cross wiki scripting but that did not seem to work. The image page is Safe Mode PNG. --Kbrosnan 02:05, 3 December 2005 (UTC)

Article name

I think this article should be renamed to safe-mode (instead of the current outrageous Safe Mode) to be consistent with the Linux invocation. --FatJohn 23:31, 21 May 2006 (UTC)

Why? We name the articles after the feature's name, not after the how it's invoked. You could always set up safe-mode as a redirect.--Np 15:14, 22 May 2006 (UTC)

Given how picky the search function is I think the last thing we want to do is make it even harder to find. People talk about safe mode, not -safe-mode. Tanstaafl 20:51, 22 May 2006 (UTC)
