I wanted to start Firefox in Safe Mode. Under Getting Started with M. Firefox, I am directed to the Start Page. Where is it? I do not have a tab for it, nor a tab for add-ons manager. I am finding F.5 a real pain , folks.' I can't figure out how to send a website link to an email using the orange Firefox tab. Therefore I have installed the old menu bar.

If you pointed us to the page url that you were reading that would help. See how to post a question in my profile at left.

In any case you have the menus. use Help > "Restart with add-ons disabled"

Using the orange button use "Firefox button"> Help (in 2nd column) > "Restart with add-ons disabled"

Thank you for your reply. When I used the orange F. button>help there was no option "restart with add-ons disabled." Also, when I had a page url highlighted, rt clicked "copy" and then "paste" into an email, all I got were previous bookmark links, not the url I had hightlighted. So I thought that going to restart and thus "safe mode" might reset everything and allow me to copy and paste as I did with F4. As long as I have you on board here, is there an easy way to copy url and paste into an email that I have not discovered (without having the old "menu", but simply the orange button). I do appreciate guidance here. Louise
