Hi there. See the explanation here, http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/office/forum/office_2016-outlook/how-do-i-change-the-default-browser-used-by/. Apparently Outlook (2016) creates a temporary file with the extension MHT that you need to specify separately from your default browser selection.

Once you set MHT to open with your browser of choice you should be set.
