Firefox error message?

When I try to open Firefox from my desktop (Or elsewhere like from e-mail) I get an error message pop-up on the screen- "Firefox.exe-Entry Point Not Found",with details that say "the procedure entry point_except_handler4_common could not be located in the dynamic link library msvcrt.dll."
I close the error message with the "X" and Firefox proceeds to open,but this may occur 1 or 2 more times causing Firefox to try to open more pages...
I don't know what this means or how to fix it,any suggestions?

Try uninstalling/reinstalling Firefox?

I'm sure that information...and more on using Firefox...is available, if you use Google or some other search engine. You might try it :thumbsup:

Wow! Thanks abauw! :thumbsup:

The problem is fixed. I followed the link you suggested,there was a few suggestions so I followed the advice of "reza",because others in the forum said it worked,it was an easy 2 minute fix and it worked.
Many thanks to you and the good people who contribute to this forum.
