This is unlikely because:

The program depends on POSIX APIs and Linux kernel features (not sure if it's
even possible to meaningfully port it to Windows)
It would likely take too much time
It might be easier to write it from scratch for Windows

Also, I think it's unlikely that firejail developers would be interested in
spending the time needed to fully port it, especially inside of Windows, as it
is a user-hostile proprietary OS that is full of anti-features.

For example, see the following:

If you are interested in firejail, I'd suggest first trying out a Linux
distribution (which is what firejail supports).

There are many of them and I don't know which ones could work well for your use
cases (so it's recommended to do your own research), but here is one example of
a common beginner-friendly distribution:
