Cannot reproduce. Installed Firefox on clean Windows 11 Version 21H2, Build 22000.194

Are you using builtin Windows Defender or some 3rd party shitty Antivirus solution? Maybe Antivirus is runnig havoc crashing the processes the loader injected to? Even Windows Defender always produces false positives on the loader, so other AV solutions may be even worse. Check stacktrace of crashed application to find location where it crashed and show it. Also check Debugview output from loader, if you find something that goes wrong with process injection.

I use avast. when NTVDM is installed, it doesn't start at all. Also, NTVDM does not start any 16 bit apps, it shows the NTVDM console window, then closes.

after some fiddling, I got WSL back up and running. closing issue, idk what's wrong with my system that ntvdm doesn't like. I give up.

what did you do to fix WSL2? i tried installing NTVDMx64 and now WSL2 doesn't even start for me. uninstalling NTVDMx64 didn't fix it, so i worry i may have to re-install WSL2 and have to reconfigure my entire distro in there..
