e10s is stable enough to run under safemode. addon stability is our biggest issue currently, e10s + safemode will help diagnose these issues.

Not sure if this is necessary - I thought it'd help to illustrate why 3 was missing rather than leaving it out entirely.

Approval Request Comment
[Feature/regressing bug #]:

N/A

[User impact if declined]:

Users testing multi-process Firefox on Aurora might erroneously assume that an add-on is to blame for a particular problem if it goes away in safe mode. This should make it easier for us to detect when a problem is occurring with in the browser+e10s, or an add-on.

[Describe test coverage new/current, TreeHerder]:

There are some tests for safe mode, which we're currently passing.

[Risks and why]: 

This is very low risk. We're basically removing a check for safe mode when deciding if we should be using multi-process Firefox.

[String/UUID change made/needed]:

None.
