Visual Studio 2005 Bug: An Unhandled Win32 Exception Error With Firefox.exe?

Ok, I have never had this problem with Visual Studio until now. Somehow, the Visual Studio debugger is confllicting with my web browser (firefox).
Here’s the problem:
I am currently using Firefox 1.5, & everytime I try to download a picture or movie, I get this Just-In-Time Debugging error asking me what debugger I want to use. I removed Visual Studio 2005, but it didn’t seem to fix the problem. Instead I get a similiar error message saying:
“A unhandled win32 exception occured in firefox.exe[3052], Just-In-Time debugging this exception failed with the following error: No installed debugger has Just-In-Time debugging enabled. In Visual Studio debugging can be enabled from Tools/Options/Debugging/Just-In-Time.
Check the documentation index for ‘Just-in-time debugging, errors’ for more information”
I went to check if I had enabled Just-In-Time debugging, & so far IT IS. I don’t understand why is Visual Studio acting this way. All I want to do is download a few pics & movies to my hard drive, but this bug is not letting me >_< Can someone please help fix this problem?

    Visual Studio probably isn’t causing the problem, it’s just reacting to it. The real problem is that FF is throwing an unhandled Win32 exception. If you had never installed VS, FF would probably just exit.
    Things I would try:
    Do the same sites work with IE?
    Uninstall/Reinstall FF 1.5
    Install a newer version of FF. 1.5 is a bit old, isn’t it?
