Firefox updated last night and now when I click on an external link I get a message saying "There was a problem sending the command to the program".

I've tried opening a link to a POP3 email account off of a messenger program as well as other site links sent to me through a messenger program. I get the same message, each time.

Also links sent to me in Thunderbird do not open in a browser window.
