So to cut it short, i have an issue with not just firefox but almost all other browsers too. I have tried Firefox, Chrome, Opera and Edge. Both Firefox and Chrome will instantly close when i open them. As in, the window will open and immediately close after barely half a second. This has happened with Chrome and Firefox, yet Opera and Edge dont seem to have this issue. I am a Firefox user normally so this does make it a little annoying. Any ideas on why that is?

Are you on Windows Home or Pro version? What security software are you running? Do you have the same issue under a different user account? If you don't have one, create it because it's good for testing these type of issues.

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.
