Every month I will get the "Firefox Safe Mode" window popping up wanting me to restart the browser or start in safe mode. I have everything updated that I have read in the articles and this problem still happens every month. When I restart the browser everything will be fine for a month and it will pop up again. When I click start in safe mode everything is fine until I restart my computer then it will pop up again. I don't know what to do.

Is this the screen about a slow startup from the Firefox Health Report?

Notification: "Mozilla Firefox seems slow… to… start."

It could be the work of one of your add-ons, or even add / mal-ware. Look thru your add-ons list and make sure you know what each one is there for. Also, check the programs that are on your computer

Windows: Start > Control Panel > Uninstall Programs.

Go thru the list. If you find something that you don't know what it is, use a web search.
