FF 3.6.12 will not open links from external sources (Outlook, Dreamweaver, Digsby, etc)

I have just upgraded to Firefox 3.6.12 and links clicked in an external source will not open in Firefox.

Firefox is set as my default program for web browsing. I have tried to open links from Outlook, Dreamweaver, Digsby, and other programs.

I have the same issue, opening links from external programs like Word or Thunderbird does not work. This used to work before the update to 3.6.12
