Firefox Keeps Minimizing When Opened -> I Click then it immediately minimizes. (WITH VIDEO)

So, for some reason today, Firefox keeps minimizing whenever I click on it. I click on the Firefox logo in my doc, I see the browser for a second, then POOF a second later it minimizes. It's odd because the app seems to be working fine. In the split second that the browser was on my screen, I'm able to type a single letter, and all button functionality works. I even got it to go into safe mode, but the problem still persisted.

This is only Firefox-specific. Not having problems with Chrome or Safari, but Firefox is my browser of choice, so it's kind of annoying.

But for more details and troubleshooting,

- I'm running on a 13inch Macbook x86 on BigSur, so not the newer M1 Mac. - I've turned off and restarted my Mac Book. - I've uninstalled and reinstalled Firefox - I've used AppCleaner to get rid of all leftover files and then reinstalled - I've forced quit the app many times - I've tried the private browser and still nothing - My Mac is up to date and charged - I've run Malwarebytes to look for viruses - Firefox works on my IPad, so it's not an account issue


None of these attempted solutions worked.

Also, I can't reset Firefox or provide any troubleshooting information because the browser closes too fast before I can do anything.
