Details | Diff | Splinter Review 
Both Firefox and Thunderbird support the -safe-mode command-line option, which disables extensions and themes and uses the default toolbar palette. It's part of Toolkit's extension manager, so it should be available in other apps as well.
This option shuld be documented in firefox/thunderbird --help.

The Debian manpage says:
"Starts Firefox in safe mode, that is disabling all extensions and showing a bit  more debugging messages."
I haven't noticed more debugging messages though...
Attached patch patch (obsolete) — — Splinter Review 
I suggest "Disables extensions and themes and uses the default toolbar palette."
Also uppercases "Profile Manager".

patch

Since this text is shared with other apps that may not have a toolbar at all, you should not mention the default toolbar palette (or this helptext should be placed in an app-specific location like nsBrowserContentHandler.js).

Right, resetting the toolbar isn't that important anyway, since you can't mess up your toolbars so badly you can't restore them anymore.

I guess mentioning that this isn't a permanent change is more useful:
"Disables extensions and themes for this session."
