There is no room for virgins in Unixland.

It is traditional in Unixland to provide only the barest hint of the 
correct syntax. I think most Unixheads would be mightily offended if the 
proffered solution did not require at least some reinterpretation work 
correctly. So at the risk of being mightily offensive, here is the full 
command for OS X. Note that this assumes that you have not renamed your 
copy of Firefox. Of course, most Unixheads would rename Firefox to at 
least include the version number so that they could keep mutiple copies 
around.

/Applications/Firefox.app/Contents/MacOS/firefox -safe-mode


Now we have to discuss why you are running the bash shell when "everyone" 
knows that bash is not the "best" shell.
