I have used Firefox for a long time. I now have a Windows 10 operating system and everything was working fine until a couple of months ago. Now, when I click a link in Outlook 2007 or Excel, I get the message "this operation has been cancelled due to restrictions in effect on this computer. Please contact your system administrator." I have Firefox installed and all its defaults. About the time this occurred, I had uninstalled and reinstalled Firefox due to some other issues. My system is apparently trying to launch IE11 which also appears not to be installed and I can't find a solution to that either. Is there something I can do to correct? I would appreciate it very much. I want all links to open in Firefox and the heck with Microsoft browsers.

As to IE11; Perform a System File Check to fix corrupted system files

Shut down Firefox. Using your file browser, open the Programs Folder on your computer.

Windows: C:\Program Files C:\Program Files (x86)

Right click on Firefox.exe and select Properties. Now select Compatibility. Turn Off Run This Program In Compatibility Mode, and Run This Program As An Administrator.

Do the same for any Firefox shortcuts you have. Now restart Firefox.

This is a problem with Outlook that isn't able to open specific links (file extension).

This issue can be a problem with the default browser settings where some registry keys are incorrect or corrupted. You can try to redo the default browser setting and temporarily set another browser as the default browser. If that doesn't help then try to uninstall and reinstall Firefox.

When you are on Windows 10 then make sure to set another browser as the default browser before uninstalling Firefox.
