I get the following message;

This application has requested the Runtime to terminate it in an unusual way. Please contact the application's support team for more information.

The program is Firefox.exe When I click ok, it closes the program. When I reopen the program, it either goes to the pages that closed or I get a "embarrassed" do I want to start new session or restore. I can tell that I'm going to get the error, when I see the tab start acting like it is downloading. I am becoming frustrated, since I have tried many different suggestions.
