Firefox is not even starting! A report to the expert:
Hi everyone. For the last 6 months, the <Firefox.exe> process is being terminated immediately after launching it.
I tried every solution I came across in the internet: from making a fresh clean installation to changing the profile, deleting the cache files and searching for Malwares and viruses. Unfortunately, nothing has worked.
Nevertheless, if I rename the "Firefox.exe" file to any other name, it will work without a problem. And if I kill the <explorer.exe> process, and then run "Frefox.exe" -without changing its name-, it will also function properly.
Before yesterday, I bought a new computer, installed Firefox, and it was working smoothly. However, today, I installed Office 2021 Pro Plus, logged into my Microsoft account from Word and <Firefox.exe> process is being terminated upon lunching it again.
I formatted the system, made a restore point, downloaded another version of office (2019 Pro Plus), logged into my Microsoft account, and the same has happened again. I tried different scenarios; the result is always the same.
- Same problem is happening with Chrome. Only Edge is working if I logged into my Microsoft account from office apps.
Any idea?

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.
Install both 32-bit and 64-bit "Visual Studio 2015, 2017 and 2019" downloads, (x86: vc_redist.x86.exe and x64: vc_redist.x64.exe) from https://support.microsoft.com/help/2977003/the-latest-supported-visual-c-downloads
You may not need the latter (32-bit version) if you use 64-bit Firefox. You may have to reboot the computer. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ In another thread, a user reported that a recent update of Malwarebytes Anti-Exploit (version 415) may be causing symptoms similar to the VC Runtime problem. If you have MBAE, it should have a setting to exempt Firefox. You could test whether that makes any difference.

I installed both of them and it is now working properly. Thanks!
Glad to help. Safe Surfing.
