Firefox is a great browser. With the right plugins it provides literally everything that you really ask for in a browser. However, plugins are sometimes a bit dangerous. Recently with one of the plugin + firefox + ubuntu made my firefox bookmarks, Menubars etc completely garbled. And with great difficulty when i would try to get to the add-ons section it would just crash...Poof!!...
For a moment i wondered should i reinstall Firefox .....but then i remembered that when one man is down the other one should help. I fired up my Opera and did some "Internetting!!". Soon enough I found what i was looking for.....Command line options...they come handy when everything else fails...
So....What i did...just fired up my FFox with the following option
firefox %u -safe-mode
Guess what, it offered me with a window asking what i would like to do ...like disable all addon's, restore defaults for Ffox etc....I just said continue and then disabled the plugin that caused me the pain...
Ain't that cool...actually there are a whole bunch of command line things that you can use to get stuff done...Check this out..
