How do I correct a "General failure....An error occurred in sending the command to the application." error message when clicking a web site link in MS Outlook email?
I get this error message every time I click on a web site link in my Outlook email. The page goes ahead and loads anyway. I just don't know why I get it and how I can get rid of it.

I randomly started getting this problem and fixed it by doing the following:
- Close both the Firefox and Outlook (2010) programs. Make sure the processes have exited.
- In Control Panel, go to "Default Programs".
- Go to "Set default programs" and set Firefox as default.
- Go back and then to "Set program access and computer defaults" and set Firefox and Outlook as your default browser and email program respectively.
- Restart Firefox and Outlook at the problem should hopefully be fixed.
If this doesn't do the job, then you may want to attempt the registry hack described here here.

Alexreg -- your solution worked for me, and after I searched around quite a bit. Thank you for posting and saving me more trouble.
alexreg; Thank you so much, for the first time I have found and answer to my problem that the solution was very well explained; step by step.
Works 100%. Thanks for saving me time. I started getting this error after a firefox upgrade. Must have been a bug somewhere, but working 100% now.
