The other day I installed Visual Studio 2005 Pro on my machine at office. A little later, I started Firefox and got this error from the Visual Studio Just In Time Debugger:
An unhandled win32 exception occurred in firefox.exe
I Google'd it and I came across this page on the Firefox support forum. None of the suggestions really worked for me but here's what did:
The other suggestions in the forum said to disable the JIT debugger (doesn't really help, all it does is bring up a dialog saying that no debugger was found!), make a new profile/ reinstall ( I suspect that if this works, it's probably because all the plugins are removed ) and for a couple of people, the problem was with AVG Safe Search/ Search Shield.
So YMMV but this is what worked for me.

I Google'd it and I came across this page on the Firefox support forum. None of the suggestions really worked for me but here's what did:
- I started Firefox in safe mode
- In the dialog that came up, I chose to disable all add-ons (you could also Continue in Safe Mode to first check if Firefox does start up and then disable add-ons from there)
- I started Firefox in 'normal mode' and it worked.
- I then re-enabled each plugin, one by one, to determine exactly which one was causing the problem.
- In my case it turned out to be the QuickTest Professional 9.5 Plugin. These other plugins didn't seem to bother VS 2005:
- DOM Inspector
- Firebug
- Free Download Mananger plugin
- Google Toolbar for Firefox
- IE Tab
- Java Quick Starter
- Live HTTP Headers
- Modify Headers
