I tried Mozilla VPN but it would never connect. So I uninstalled and cancelled. Then I got a persistent vcruntime140.dll not found error. I uninstalled iTunes and legacy Microsoft Visual Suite apps. Now nothing will load. Not about pages. Not password pages. Not websites. Nothing. Have uninstalled and refreshed Firefox multiple times. Have restarted PC multiple times. Have turned off firewall and virus protection. Nothing works. nothing loads. Thanks for your thoughts!

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.

See "Visual Studio 2015, 2017 and 2019":

Thank you - I did uninstall and reinstall Visual Studio. Same issue. Only Firefox is affected. I believe this is related to the Mozilla VPN. I tried it for 7 days but it would never connect for me. So I uninstalled it. The issue I'm having with no Firefox pages loading occured immediately after the Mozilla VPN uninstall

You posted a question about Mozilla VPN in someone else's Firefox support question. You need to post your own question in a new thread (see Mozilla Support rules and guidelines).

Please ask this again in the Mozilla VPN support forum. You can use this link: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/new/firefox-private-network-vpn/form

I'll close this thread.
