Firefox 3 opens in safe mode with Quicksilver?

I set Quicksilver to open FF (2.0.x) months back using a keyboard shortcut (option-command-F) and it has worked well on my iMac (10.5.3).

However, I installed FF3.0 over top of it yesterday and, while the program worked well and I could run it from the Dock as normal, the Quicksilver keyboard shortcut triggered the "opening in safe mode" window every time.

So I downgraded to FF2.0.0.14 and the Quicksilver shortcut ("trigger") is working as before.

Does anyone have an idea why FF3 should behave like this? And how to fix it?

Yes, that was the first thing I tried. It didn't work.

Paradoxically, (on two occasions I tried it) when I launched FF3 using Quicksilver shortcut, the first time after a boot, it worked, but closing FF (command-Q) and trying it again caused the problem. Weird.

If FF was running with no window or minimized, the problem didn't occur and QS opened the FF window as normal.

Yeah I'm having the exact same problem. Only the trigger creates this problem, invoking FF3 from a quicksilver search works normally.
 
I've just tried it and I'm getting the same bug. I've put it on Blacktree's bug tracker.
There might be a fix soon as there's a developer (tiennou) who's currently making a bug-fix release.
 
Aha! Thanks. Looks like the change to using the Option key to open FF3 in safe mode is what has triggered the bug. So control-command-F should work.
