On May 1st, when I launched Firefox(afternoon some time on US East coast) it ran an update to 138.0.1. When it was done, it did not launch. So I clicked the icon on my desktop and it came up, but then closed out after about 15 seconds. When I reopened it, it asked to continue in troubleshooting mode or refresh. I tried both. No luck. I restarted and even uninstall and reinstalled the latest version as well as tried installing 137.
I have tried with virus/malware protection/firewall off. I have restarted. My page file is default. I tried renaming the firefox.exe to something else. I tried creating an new firefox profile(firefox.exe -p) but that crashes too.
I installed the latest version of Firefox Nightly and it stays open just fine. But when I launch the regular firefox, they both close.
I also installed the Firefox app from the Windows store and it behaves the same as the one from the mozilla website.
