Why does Firefox boot sometimes but not always stop with "Firefox is now running in Safe mode"?

Why does Firefox restart sometimes but not always stop with "Firefox is now running in Safe Mode, which temporarily disables your custom settings, themes, and extensions"? I do NOT want my plugins such as 1Password suspended. Why does this happen, and how can I stop this happening?

That happens if the Option key is pressed if you start Firefox.

See Safe mode

Thanks for your answer, much appreciated and I now understand why. But I use the Option key as part of my QuicKeys string to load an application without needing to mouse around. When you've used a pc for over twenty years, your arms get so tired using a mouse that mousing is something to avoid if at all possible...

So it would be nicer if the panel that appears had a non-greyed out option to ignore the safe mode and load Firefox normally. I can only do that currently if I mouse to check one of the displayed options (that I don't actually want)...
