Description: Currently option name is "Restart in Safe Mode", but "safe" word can be interpreted in different way like "this is safe" vs. "this is unsafe". But actually this is actually "Troubleshoot Mode". Firefox did exactly the same change from "Safe Mode" to "Troubleshoot Mode". Steps to Reproduce: 1.Click on Help menu Actual Results: Current option is "Restart in Safe Mode". Expected Results: Recommendation: "Troubleshoot Mode" Reproducible: Always User Profile Reset: Yes Additional Info: Firefox did the same change few releases ago.
Sounds good to me.
+1 from me also. "Safe mode" has been a misnomer since implemented at 5.3, its function has always been "trouble shooting" and recovery.
-1 I don’t agree that the proposal is clearer than the original text.
The order I prefer: - Restart in Safe Mode (I get used to it from LibreOffice over years) - Repair & Restart (simple and clear) - Troubleshoot Mode (I did not remember seeing/using somewhere)
Agreed that this is a misnomer. In Spanish we’ve been translating it for years as “Modo a prueba de errores”, which means something like “fail-safe mode”.

(In reply to grofaty from comment #0) > But actually this is actually "Troubleshoot Mode". I wouldn't say there's a troubleshoot _mode_. There's a troubleshooting _dialog_. I don't like the new wording TBH.
Huge -1 from me too. "Safe Mode" is a perfectly understandable term. There is *tons* of documentation and posts out there too, trying to help users reset or debug their sticky messes. And the kinds of users who usually run into those troubles... are the same exact ones who would then say "this option/button/menu doesn't exist"... causing a whole new avalanche of useless QA.
