Where is help on topic: "restart with add-ons disabled"
In the Help menu is the choice "restart with add-ons disabled" I tried to find out what the consequences of this command would be, but I can't get any results on that SPECIFIC command. If I try it, will I permanently disable my add-ons?
I gotta ask this because I have had nothing but trouble with Mozilla add-ons lately, especially the themes.
I'm getting tired of Firefox

Basically what the Restart with Add-ons disabled does is it closes your Firefox, and them opens it in Safe mode, which is a temporary mode where all add-ons are disabled, and settings are set to their defaults. This helps you be able to test and see if your issue exists without third-party variables. Then, when you close and restart firefox again, it starts as it was before without add-ons.
Diagnose Firefox issues using Troubleshoot Mode is an article that explains it a bit more.
what trouble with add-ons are you having specifically?

Thanks for the info. See my other reply [[Can I revert to the earlier appearance of Firefox?|https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/932764#answer-353878]] to you for the details about what I'm having trouble with.
