A plugin is causing ff to show a blank white page even on the settings pages. So I can uninstall the plugin. How can I start up in safe mode and or reset ff?

No the problem is still there However I seen that FF beta version now offers the new sync so since I would have to uninstall Aurora anyone to fix I decided to go with the beta version. All is working now and I guess since there is no safe mode for the mobile versions then there will not really be an answer. So we can close this support post.

That's a really good question. I'm only aware of the drastic option of going into the Android settings > Apps, and using the "Clear Data" button to restore Firefox to a fresh install. This will remove add-ons but also bookmarks, history, any Sync data, etc. Hopefully you will get a better suggestion.

ya I no I can do that but I didn't won't to lose all my plugins and having to go thru a reinstall. But I guess by waiting a day for the next update sooner or later it will fix its self. I am only using Aurora because it uses the new sync where as the release version doesn't and trying to get sync to work on the old sync version is impossible since Mozilla won't fix it.
