Hyperlinks from MS Word no longer launch a Firefox Page

I was just upgraded to the new Firefox 6.0 today and I noticed immediately that the hyperlinks that I've got in MS Word documents no longer activate when I hit Ctrl + Click. Previously, the corresponding URL was launched automatically in Firefox.

Is this a glitch with my computer, a problem created by extensions that were disabled with the upgrade, or a bug not yet addressed with Firefox 6.0?

The problem seems to have resolved itself. Possibly all I needed to do was reboot.

Never mind!
