Decided to switch to firefox from brave. Am completely unable to run Firefox. Doesn't even show up in task manager. I have one split second of a window, then it vanishes. Tried safe mode, tried running as admin, nothing. Brave and edge work, and I even downloaded opera to see if it would mess that up too, but opera booted fine. Running Windows 10 22H2, OS build 19045.3324. Any help is appreciated.

Reinstall the Visual C++ Redistributable.

Parental controls in your Microsoft account can block certain browsers from starting. Does it still happen if you rename firefox.exe to something else?
