How can I be in safe mode with firefox
I am truly technologically challenged. I've read everything about strating and/or accessing Safe Mose using Firefox but I don't understand any of them. Can someone PLEASE, tell me how to do it, step by step, using words a savvy 2 1/2 year old can follow? I'd really appreciate it.

Safe Mode is a diagnostic tool used for troubleshooting issues in Firefox. It temporarily disables extensions, themes, hardware acceleration and some other settings. It isn't intended to be used for normal browsing.
I was told, in order to deal with an issue, to try using it in Safe mode but I have no idea how to do that.
Safe Mode temporarily turns off hardware acceleration, resets some settings, and disables add-ons (extensions and themes) that might be causing problems.
With Firefox open: Select Menu Select Help Select Restart With Add-ons Disabled On the dialog select Restart On the next dialog select Start In Safe Mode (Do Not select Refresh)
With Firefox closed: Press and hold the Shift (in Mac: Option) key Launch Firefox On the dialog select Start In Safe Mode (Do Not select Refresh)
(Your Bookmarks Toolbar will be turned off. Right-click on the Toolbar and select Bookmarks Toolbar to display it again.) ______________________________________________________
To quit Safe Mode: Select Menu Select Help Select Restart With Add-ons Enabled
Or Exit Firefox.
