The program can’t start because VCRUNTIME140.dll is missing from your computer. Try reinstalling the program to fix this problem.

I purchases a new computer that had Firefox installed on it already. After Windows 11 setup... 1st starting Firefox up I got a message saying: '''''The program can’t start because VCRUNTIME140.dll is missing from your computer. Try reinstalling the program to fix this problem.''''' After, it would load but, was getting every time I loaded it up or a new page: '''''Gah. Your tab just crashed''''' I did all the solution I could find for Firefox crashing (plus more google results): https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/troubleshoot-firefox-crashes-closing-or-quitting '''THIS DID NOT WORK!''' But then I decided to focus on the VCRUNTIME140.dll is missing issue. '''And here is what solved it for me:''' # Visit https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/2977003/the-latest-supported-visual-c-downloads # Go to the section Visual Studio 2015, 2017, 2019, and 2022, and download the following executable file: vc_redist.x64.exe # Install this file # Restart the computer and run Firefox
