When i compiled, firefox starts safe mode. How can i disable safe mode. Because i want to use extensions that doesn't seem safe mode.

Answer 1

You don't need start Firefox without safe mode, you only need load all wanted extensions.

1. Loads the extension inside a File variable,
2. Add this extension in a FirefoxProfile variable using the method addExtension(File) ,
3. Set the version of the extension in preferences,
4. Start FirefoxDriver with the FirefoxProfile.

Example:

File file = new File("path_to_firebug-2.0.17.xpi");
FirefoxProfile firefoxProfile = new FirefoxProfile();
firefoxProfile.addExtension(file);
firefoxProfile.setPreference("extensions.firebug.currentVersion", "2.0.17"); 

WebDriver driver = new FirefoxDriver(firefoxProfile);

Answer 2

I'm not sure about it but may be this is the solution of your problem. You can disable it by setting preference as toolkit.startup.max_resumed_crashes to -1 to Initialize FirefoxDriver with FirefoxProfile as below :-

FirefoxProfile profile = new FirefoxProfile();
profile.setPreference("toolkit.startup.max_resumed_crashes", "-1");

 WebDriver driver = new FirefoxDriver(profile);
