I am thinking I may get fired from my job and was thinking about quitting so it wouldn't look bad to future employers. But a friend told me they are not allowed to say that they let you go or fired you since it's negitive, but just confirm that you worked there. Is this true? Does a future employer ever have to know I was fired?

first dont quit just because u think u might get fired. talk to them and explain that u know ur work stinks. And very very soon u will improve it.
Lastly they are only suppose to verify the employment and dates. But even if someone knows it is still okay, truth is okay.

There is no law which prohibits an employer from giving the facts of why an employee departed. However, because some former employees have sued for slander and libel, most companies have a policy of not disclosing reasons for termination.
Your idea of resigning before you are fired is a good one. It puts you in the negotiation seat. Tell your boss you know it isn't going well, ask for a severance package and a neutral reference, and that should give you a clean record and a chance to find your next job.
Good luck.

Usually on your job application there is a question that ask why you left your previous job. If you lie on your application for example you were fired but put on the application that you quit, and the company you are trying to work for find out that could be a negative for you. I do not know if companies are not allowed to say that they let you go or fired you.

as others have said, always tell the truth. If you think you going to be fired you or want to leave, do it. And get a job that works for for you. Yes, an employer can do anything they want.

The most they are legally allowed to say is you once worked there and if they would rehire you.
That being said... people talk, especially if they know one another. You may want to put in your notice before they let you go, that way you can honestly say you resigned when you apply for a new joy.
