Firefox opens with a blank screen. When I type in an address nothing happens except on the bottom right I will see the address entered briefly then it disappears.

I have uninstalled and reinstalled, same problem.

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 and 2019":

You may also have to install the Visual Studio 2013 Redistributable Package. You may have to reboot the computer.
