Since my Firefox updated to version 10.0, it frequently and unexpectedly reverts into safe mode; I am unable to open links in new tabs (versus new windows), my settings and preferences are lost, etc. This does not happen with any particular website(s) and does not correct itself by rebooting Mozilla (from the task manager) or by rebooting the operating system. It somehow reverts back to normal mode without issue occasionally. HELP!
