I recently upgraded to latest version of Firefox... maybe 128... and after many crashes, now it fails to start with the error message "The application was unable to start correctly (0xc0000142). I'm supposing I should reinstall, but concerned about preserving bookmarks and passwords. Any advice appreciated. [I'm a very long-time user of Firefox.]
