How to block safe mode

Hi, i'm trying to set up a protected system for a computer that other people would be able to use.

There are a couple of plugins that I don't want people to have the options to uninstall as they're tailored to block certain keywords, FF options etc... Unfortunately it is way to easy to access these plugins with safe mode, even though I password protected them.

So, I would like to know how to prevent people from accessing safe mode on a child account. Afaik, it's not even possible to use policies within windows without blocking firefox completely as safe mode is accessed trough a prefix or holding shift, but I could be wrong.

I've seen this question asked quite a few times, but all the answers are outdated.

Cheers
