why is it on some trusted sites i get internet explorer has encountered a problem and needs to close?

For example i went on the site for a local news station here and clicked on a news video i wanted to watch and the annoying pop up came up Internet explorer has encountered a problem and needs to close. I thought by downloading IE 8 would help this problem but it didn't. I am still getting that annoying pop up when i go to some trusted websites.

    Firefox has the same problems as with IE 8, may be in some other field. All programs run in IE 8 but many software do not work in Firefox. Try by uninstalling the IE 8 and installing it back.
