I get this error message every time I click on a web site link in my Outlook email. The page goes ahead and loads anyway. I just don't know why I get it and how I can get rid of it.

I randomly started getting this problem and fixed it by doing the following:

  1. Close both the Firefox and Outlook (2010) programs. Make sure the processes have exited.
  2. In Control Panel, go to "Default Programs".
  3. Go to "Set default programs" and set Firefox as default.
  4. Go back and then to "Set program access and computer defaults" and set Firefox and Outlook as your default browser and email program respectively.
  5. Restart Firefox and Outlook at the problem should hopefully be fixed.

If this doesn't do the job, then you may want to attempt the registry hack described here here.

Works 100%. Thanks for saving me time. I started getting this error after a firefox upgrade. Must have been a bug somewhere, but working 100% now.
