Sorry, but we don't just want to stick every possible option in to the
quicklist menu, and the "-safe-mode" and "-Profilemanager" options are
not used often enough to justify such a prominent place in the UI.
Firstly, the profilemanager option will always fail if you already have
another Firefox instance open anyway (unless you use -no-remote, but we
certainly do not want that in any option by default as you will then get
errors about the profile being locked if you try to open a new instance
without realizing one is already open).
Secondly, the -safe-mode option will always fail to do the right thing
unless you close all running instance. The -no-remote option won't help
you there either (specifying it will just lead to errors about the
profile being locked).
In addition to that, we don't want an entry for private-browsing mode
until Firefox supports the ability to have a mixture of private and non-
private windows. Having a quicklist entry which closes all of your
current windows to switch mode is not really acceptable.
