[SOLVED] Firefox always in safe mode when started from KDE launcher

Hi,

i have the following problem: when i pin the firefox icon to the KDE taskbar, Friefox always starts in Safe mode. I need to launch it from the Kicker menu to start in normal mode. The same behaviour was present in KDE 4 and now in KDE 5 as well. Do you have any idea how i could solve it, so firefox would run normally, even if launched from the taskbar?

Thanks

Re: [SOLVED] Firefox always in safe mode when started from KDE launcher

any idea? i have realized that the the problem is that the wrong .desktop association is being launched from the launcher, is is launchung firefox-bin-safe.desktop instead of firefox-bin.desktop. But where can is set which launcher gets pinned to the taskbar?

So can't you just edit the entry?  I don't use kde, but I would guess that there's a way to do it.  If no graphical option, use the command line.

Don't you have a ~/.kde<something> folder where your settings are stored?
Wouldn't finding and changing the safe part and restarting kde work?
