Firefox crashing on startup on Mageia 2

I use Firefox as my web browser of preference on my Mageia 2 system and today when I clicked the icon to start it, I was greeted with just the application bar briefly before it crashed. I tried restarting it and still the same thing happened but this time I noticed that the Adblock Plus was showing on the title bar before it disappeared.

Doing a quick Google on this behavior led me to a post that this happens when an add-on thinks it's compatible with the current version of Firefox. To fix this, I needed to run Firefox in "Safe Mode" and disable all add-ons.

The command to start in "Safe Mode" is:

$ firefox -safe-mode

And you will be greeted with a dialog box where you can tick the checkbox to disable all add-ons.

Once I restarted, Firefox worked fine.
