Firefox won't run after installation
I've had Firefox running on this PC for a couple of years and started running into problems with it. I've tried refreshing, reinstalling, restoring the machine back to prior system restore points, nothing seems to work. It all seems to revolve around the ntdll.dll. I've included some event viewer info and the content of Report.wer.
It seems Firefox has been banned from this machine.
Let me know if there is anything else I should provide.
Thanks.

This didn't have any effect by the way.
I called for more help.
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.
In that case, I would 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
Thanks for your persistence.
I did as you asked and it allowed the browser to launch, but both tabs remained blank.
Unfortunately after that, it wouldn't allow subsequent launches, even after a machine reboot.
