Transferring Firefox to a new computer

I recently transferred Firefox from my old computer with Windows 10 to my new computer with Windows 11. But Firefox hasn't been working properly since the transfer. I have all my favorites on the toolbar, but when I recently downloaded something, it couldn't open it. That's happened a few times in the last few days. I had to go to Microsoft Edge to be able to open the downloads. What do I need to do to be able to use Firefox on this new computer?
