I'm a bit confused as to what's desperate about this. Firefox has a
startup option that you were pointed to the man page about. Starting
up with that option gives you a Firefox browser without the extensions
running. You can then uninstall them, quit Firefox, and restart without
safe-mode and see how it goes. In such a fashion, you can find the
extension(s) that cause(s) the problem.
What am I missing here?
