[SOLVED] Firefox - safe mode

The history, my online banking would only work in safe mode, and so I set up a launcher specifically for that. I've since fixed it, and so can access normally.

However, unless I launch FF first, email links etc. (and yes, I only open trusted links) always open in safe mode now. If FF is already running, they will open normally. Where the hell can I find the default that is doing "Safe mode" rather than just launching FF?

EDIT: - XFCE. And the safe launcher for banking was simply a safe mode launcher. links don't try to take me to online banking, they take me to where I want to go. In Safe mode, they fail (because passwords etc are forgotten). I repeat, if FF is already open, they work as expected.

EDIT: Fixed it. I wasn't launching safe mode specifically, I'd created a new profile. Deleted the new profile and back to normal. Sorry for the inconvenience.
