When I click on a link in an email that should take me to a webpage in Firefox, a dialog box pops up showing my documents and is titled Locate Link Browser.

I am running Windows 7 and Outlook 2003. When ever I click on a link in Outlook I get a “Locate Link Browser” window that opens up. If I set my default to Internet Explorer 9 everything works ok but if I set the default back to Firefox 11.0 the error comes back. I cant find a fix for this... I am wondering if this has something to do with Adobe Flash?

Not likely. It is most likely a problem with DDE, but on Windows 7 you will have to edit the registry if temporarily switching the default browser to another browser (e.g. IE) and then back to Firefox doesn't help.

See the above posted article for details.
