SafeMode is a troubleshooting / diagnostic mode that purposely disables all installed extensions; you can't selectively enable specific extensions while you're running in the SafeMode.

What are you trying to accomplish?

My son also has figured out that starting Firefox in safe mode disables all the add-ons, including the parental controls. I haven't figured out how to prevent access to safe mode.

Is there a way to prevent a user form accessing safe-mode? i.e a registry key, a password, or admin right.

I'm using FF3.6.6 on Windows XP. Add-on is ProCon Latte.

Is there no way to prevent a user from accessing safe-mode while keeping FF accessible?
