After an update in Windows 11, I am totally unable to open my Mozilla Firefox program. I get a blank page, and no matter what I try I cannot open anything. After running a system scan I got this message: The code execution cannot proceed because "VCRUNTIME140_1.dll" was not found. This is what I think is my problem. PLEASE HELP I have not been able to use important items I had stored on Mozilla. Thanks for anyone who can help me, I am not a computer genius so please make any help. As simple as possible, my 70 year old brain works a little slower these days.

Mozilla Firefox Updated to 3.0.4

Mozilla released an update to its latest web browser, Firefox 3. The browser has been updated to sub-version 3.0.4, with several security patches, bug fixes and localization features added to the mix. To begin with, Mozilla patched several moderate-thru-critical vulnerabilities which include excecution of malicious code remotely, and crashes leading to memory corruption. The list of security fixes can be found here.

Mozilla also squished several bugs as listed in the Bug List. The company expanded localization for Firefox, with stable releases in Icelandic and Thai, and beta releases in Bulgarian, Esperanto, Estonian, Latvian, Occitan, and Welsh languages, which are open for testing till they reach stable-grade in subsequent releases. For more information, please refer to the Release Notes. Firefox can be downloaded from the server closest to you, from the Firefox homepage. Existing users would be updated automatically.

Mozilla Firefox To Pack H.264 Support

I think this H.264 license will destabilize a lot of things at Mozilla.

• Mozilla will no longer be able to guarantee that their product is 100% open-standard/open-source (because it will contain some closed-source code),
• It won't be able to give away Firefox source-code which contains H.264 CODEC to just about anyone, because that could conflict with the license
• Browsers that are derived from the Firefox source (eg: Waterfox) will not have access to the H.264 CODEC.
• It will dent Mozilla's image in the OSS community.

In my opinion Mozilla should have flipped the bird at H.264 and carried on. H.264 web-content is still in its infancy, and lack of support from Firefox should instead hinder its adoption, not that of Firefox.
