That issue can be caused by a corrupted or incomplete Visual C++ installation (multiple versions can be installed side-by-side; SxS) that is missing some runtime components (Redistributable Packages) that Firefox depends on (problem with an embedded manifest file that specifies a specific runtime version).

You need to install the missing components (e.g. VisualC++ 2005 Redistrbutable).

Thank you very much cor-el . The Visual C download fixed my problem. You made it very easy, even though I have no clue what that means, it worked instantly. I did not even go to the URL fix you provided as I assume I don't need it if it seems to run good now. Again thank you very much
