Why do I get an error every time I try to update Waterfox?

I have a Toshiba Satellite running Windows 8.1 version 6.3.9600 build 9600. I have Waterfox version 36. There have been three updates since I went back to Waterfox. I always select Update now. None of the last three updates has finished updating because it says file libiomp5md.dll is missing. I am not sure what this is or what it means or how to fix it.

Any ideas?

Thank you for your time and thank you for all you do for the users. I love Waterfox! God bless you all.

It's not made by Mozilla? I'm sorry. I guess I just didn't realize. Every time I click on links in Waterfox it brings me to Mozilla. Thank you.cor-el said
