Hey, 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. I would suggest installing Visual Studio 2015, 2017, 2019 and 2022 from the link below. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-US/cpp/windows/latest-supported-vc-redist?view=msvc-170
