Firebug Lite debugger window. Need help in disable/removal.

[Reeko Suave]

I work in I.T. in a hospital setting and we have policies in place that block the installation of Chrome and strictly use Internet Explorer on all our workstations. I have a computer with Windows XP, IE 7 and it may at one time have had Chrome (or Firefox?), but not any more. SOMEHOW firebug lite is active on this computer and there seems to be no 'visible' traces of it anywhere. As a matter of fact if I search of the entire file structure for 'firebug' - It returned no hits.

 

However, on certain websites I get the Firebug Lite console window in IE7. I need to stop this. Any idea where to look? This is a clinical computer and not a programmer's PC so we don't need to see or have any debugging going on. IE Scripting turned on or off makes no difference - I always see this window.

 

Thanks for your time and expertise,

 

Rick.

Firebug Lite is a web application (pure HTML/JS/CSS) it doesn't have an installation process
and it can only be injected (as a bookmarklet) or included (using <script> tag) into a page.

Make sure the page doesn't have Firebug included using the <script> tag.

You can also see, this post about how to include/inject Firebug Lite into a page:

Thanks very much for your reply. Why am I seeing the Firebug Lite window on only one computer? I've tried the site on 5 different systems. It only pops up on one computer. The difference may be IE 7 versus IE8 - pops up on IE7, but not on IE8. Is that possible? 

Can you tell me how a bookmarklet gets installed? Or is it simply part of the code embedded in the html on the site?

This sounds weird. Note that there is Firebug Lite extension for Google Chrome browser, so there is something you can actually install, but not for IE

It should be clear from my post, read here:
