Bonjour, Suite à la dernière mise à jour de Firefox, j'ai sans cesse le message d'erreur VCRUNTIME140_1.dll introuvable. Conseil de réinstallation de l'application etc. J'ai beau faire une désinstallation complète et un nettoyage puis une réinstallation, rien n'y fait. J'ai toujours le même message depuis plusieurs jours. Et c'est énervant ! Je suis obligé de naviguer sur Edge et je n'aime pas du tout. Merci de m'aider. Bonne journée. Philippe

Note that this can be caused by uninstalling an application that previously had installed these Visual C components and that included removing VCRUNTIME140_1.dll. Firefox doesn't come with this file, but relies on this file being installed in the OS.

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 install both 32-bit and 64-bit "Visual Studio 2015, 2017 and 2019" downloads, (x86: vc_redist.x86.exe and x64: vc_redist.x64.exe) from https://support.microsoft.com/help/2977003/the-latest-supported-visual-c-downloads

Merci beaucoup. J'ai su réinstaller "Visual Studio" et Firefox fonctionne parfaitement. Excellente assistance ! Thank you very much. I was able to reinstall "Visual Studio" and Firefox works perfectly. Excellent assistance!
