The example show what to do when you get to safe mode but it does not show the step of how to get to safe mode. In order to get to the safe mode how do you get there? The steps are not clear, I guess what I am asking is what are the step by step instructions starting from where to do go to get the safe mode choice?

My main problem is my enter button does not work in firefox google search. It will work for a short time and all of a sudden it will stop. How can I fix this problem as well?
