how do I get Mozilla Firefox out of safe mode

Hi smick,

Here you go -

To exit Safe Mode, close Firefox and then restart it by using your
regular method or by going to:
Start / Programs / Mozilla Firefox / Firefox

If your shortcut has been accidentally deleted, go to:
Start / Run 
Run: C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe

Another option is to search for it:
Start / Find / Files or Folders
Look in C (or wherever you keep it) for "firefox.exe", click Find Now.
Click on the .exe icon.

Additional Link:

"If you have accidentally deleted the shortcut to Firefox's Safe Mode
from the Start Menu on Windows, you can re-access it by going to
"Start -> Run"
    "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe" -safe-mode 
"If you have installed Firefox to another location, modify the path as
such. It's the "-safe-mode" command line parameter that's crucial
here."

I hope this helps. If you have any questions, please post a
clarification request *before* closing/rating my answer and I'll be
happy to reply.

Thank you,
