Recently I get a window opening called 'Just in time debugging' and it keeps asking me 'New instance of microsoft script editor'. I click No but it keeps appearing? What does this mean and how do i stop it appearing?

Just-in time debugging is not from Firefox, it is part of visual Studio from Microsoft. For details of how to disable it see http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/5hs4b7a6.aspx

An alternative method, open Internet Explorer and in the Tools menu select Internet Options. Go to the Advanced tab and select the 2 options, "Disable Script Debugging (Internet Explorer)" and "Disable Script Debugging (Other)"

Thanks for the reply. I couldnt get that far and eventually my friend took a look at it. Had to reinstall something and I lost all my stuff but I didnt have much on there anyway.Thanks again.
