Start Firefox in Safe Mode {web link}

A small dialog should appear. Click Start In Safe Mode (not Refresh). Is the problem still there?

A dialog box does not appear. As this does not happen every time, running in safe mode will not be conclusive. I am wondering if it is a problem with the antivirus software i am using Trend or the add blocker i have set up in Firefox.
