I was in a zoom class with my browser open when the power flickered on and off a couple of times. Firefox runs, but it will no longer display web pages, including the ones that are embedded in the browser (add ons & themes, etc.). Additionally there are a number of *.dll's that seem to be corrupted. I have reinstalled the browser and refreshed it and neither have worked. There was a general problem with Windows as well, but the latest update seemed to correct those problems. The web address doesn't even appear in the address bar. Snip of what it looks like is included.

Thanks much!

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.

This could corrupt the hard drive.

Perform a System File Check to fix corrupted system files
