Your Microsoft account may have parental controls enabled which limits what browsers you can use, you could try to get this limitation removed or create a new account.
You may be able to get it working by renaming firefox.exe to something else but this will break DRM protected videos.

Did you recently uninstall an application that was using Visual C+ runtime components?
You can check for issues caused by a corrupted or incomplete Visual C++ installation that is missing runtime components (Redistributable Packages) required by Firefox, especially VCRUNTIME140_1.dll.
See "Visual Studio 2015, 2017, 2019, and 2022":
Download the latest vc_redist.x64 and vc_redist.x86 files.
You need to reboot the computer.
