Whenever I try to click on a hyperlink within a 2010 Outlook email I get this error: General failure. The URL was: "######". An error occurred in sending the command to the application.

Not much to go on I know, but I'm reading that my default web browser HAS to be IE. I don't like anyone telling me I have to use something when I really don't want to. I've been using Firefox for many many years and I want to continue. BTY, my OS is Windows 7.
