I keep getting a pop up to install firebug and its getting really irritating. I think it could harm my computer (because my computer has warned me it might be a virus). How can i make the pop up go away?

you keep sending a pop up message saying that i need to install firebug. Its getting annoying... really annoying. Please make it go away. My computer warns me it might be a virus or affect my computer in some way. I see no need for this firebug. Just make the pop up go away please.

You probably installed an extension which requires Firebug to be installed. Get rid of that extension and that message won't appear any more.
