So I was cleaning out my SSD of a bunch of junk files and I think I might have deleted a file Firefox needs as when I open Firefox it seems to just blank with the search bar and when I try to go to say YouTube nothing loads. So I tried to do a fresh redownload of Firefox and the installer just this error saying "The code execution cannot proceed because vcruntime140_1.dll was not found" can someone help me get Firefox working properly again?
