Firefox abruptly switched into safe mode. How do it return it to normal mode?
I use Firefox with Google Search as my home page. Today (12/3/10) I closed the page and was informed that Firefox was not running in safe mode and all my preferences--bookmarks etc.--were not available. I managed to restore bookmarks and other features by following directions on a screen that gave me those choices. However the Firefox icon has disappeared from my opening screen and I cannot figure out how to restore it. Firefox is still listed on my menu as in safe mode. If I bring up the home page and try to right click to create a new icon, I get a screen that tells me how to restore (or delete) those preferences I have already restored.

Thanks for the suggestions, but I could not make them work. The easiest route for me turned out to be uninstalling the program, keeping my preferences intact and reinstalling the browser. Seems to work fine now. Icon was restored and when I deleted the "Firefox (safe mode)" from the menu, it was instantly replaced by the name of the browser in normal mode.
I still don't know why or how this happened, but the solution above seems to be satisfactory and it didn't take too long.
