OK, so if your real profile is still not working
(maybe it was a transient error) then the issue would be
1) from a plug-in
2) from an add-on
3) from a specific config option (some get set to default values in safe mode)
Identifying which is the hard part, unfortunately...
In my experience, something funky happening with config options (in
prefs.js) is the most frequent cause. That said, I've seen it happen
once or twice where a problem clears with a one-time run in Safe Mode,
and then restarting in normal mode.
Fortunately, plug-ins are now pretty rare (except for Flash). On my own
setups, I deleted Flash more than a year ago, and haven't had problems,
but then I rarely need (or want) animated content that requires Flash.
If you have extensions and problems clear in Safe Mode, then the normal
troubleshooting is to sequentially enable or disable, until the problem
goes away (and you have identified which extension). If you have a lot
of extensions, it may be slightly faster to disable half of them, and
then sequentially enable or disable, until the problem appears or goes away.
If it's a problem extension, then you might be able to recover the
functionality of the extension simply by removing and re-adding, rather
than having to sacrifice the extension entirely.
