Just updated my Win7 pc to Win10 and for some reason FF installs but will not run. Start page comes up, the Google page doesnt load and you cannot navigate to another site. Warnings appear to be a dll file issue and claims it isnt compatible with Win10, yet Ive got 8 systems running FF right now.
Its not a huge issue as I also have Chrome and Edge but Im a FF user. This same system has Zorin 15.3 installed and FF works just fine.

Problem solved, as I hadnt noticed that the Visual C++ studio 2015 was the only version installed and the newer 2019 version was needed. After install Firefox is working great.

Ive been pretty lucky over time as ive never had any serious issues with Firefox even though many havent been as fortunate. Bothe in Linux and Windows its been a rock solid browser.
