Both apple and windows are fine systems, not going down that road again, but if you doN’t know what you are doing windows/firefox will give you more problems because it lets you do more than apple/IE does, sorry but its true. Slapping on add-ons you’ll only use once or twice is going to make it drag like a b**ch and that’s where the problems are – users who don’t understand what they are doing when they use the program(s) or the effect it will have on said performance. After 5 years with firefox teh only add-ons I still use regularly are stumble upon, a screen grabber, a youtube downloader and a few file converters/readers… The other add-ons aren’t really add-ons such as… DivX, java, flash, shockwave…

If you’re sensible the only reason to run safe mode is number 1 from your list of 5 – to trouble shoot. Anyone who needs to use safe mode to do the other 4 shouldn’t be using firefox anyway and should switch back to IE.

I mean if you can do that in safe mode firefox I think we should be able to do it in regular mode as well. I sometimes wish I could disable them all with one click so I can do some things without all my add-ons interfering with the web site.
