I've done several fresh installs, and although Task Manager shows that Firefox.exe has opened, it does not show an open window on my desktop. Running Windows 10, Webroot Antivirus, and Surfshark VPN. A second, older laptop with the same software is running Firefox perfectly. This just started a week ago after months of running Firefox perfectly.
