This option will open a Firefox product page in the Microsoft Store web portal. If you are running Windows 10 or Windows 11, you will have the option to open the Microsoft Store from this page and install Firefox. If you install from the Microsoft Store, updates to Firefox will also be handled by the Microsoft Store. There are minor differences in Firefox behaviors and capabilities when installed from the Microsoft Store, but for most users these differences are not noticeable.
