Comment (by dcf):

 Somewhat related, in the meek HTTP helper extension, I set a pref to
 disable safe mode after a crash.

 user_pref("toolkit.startup.max_resumed_crashes", -1);
 }}}
 While I was developing it, at one point it crashed at startup three times
 in a row, and the next time it offered to start in safe mode, which caused
 it to disable all addons (and therefore its own headlessness). I haven't
 seen a similar failure in Tor Browser or Tor Launcher itself.
