No matter what I do, I am not able to get firefox to open.
I am able to install Firefox, but as soon as I try to open it, after a second a window pops up for probably about 1 frame, and is barely visible. I have tried all of the things I could, but am not able to fix this.

I was able to make it work with the Microsoft Store! The downside is that I can't get developer edition, which I want. Any help would be appreciated!

Have you tried run Dev Firefox in Safe Mode? https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/diagnose-firefox-issues-using-troubleshoot-mode#w_how-to-start-firefox-in-4troubleshoot-modesf5safe-modesf
Have you tried running Windows in Safe Mode? https://support.microsoft.com/en-au/windows/start-your-pc-in-safe-mode-in-windows-92c27cff-db89-8644-1ce4-b3e5e56fe234
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.
See "Visual Studio 2015, 2017, 2019, and 2022":

You may also have to install the Visual Studio 2013 Redistributable Package. You need to reboot the computer.
Where did you get Firefox from?
