Outlook/firefox url problem

(1/2) > >>

brotman:
I recently made firefox (3) my default browser (I've virtually stopped using IE).  My problem occurswhen I click on a URL link in outlook.  I get a beep and a message from Outlook sayiing  "General Failure" [url goes here] "The System cannot find the specified file.  However if I switch over to firefox the page is there. Is there any way to eliminate the false/unnecessary warning/alert?

cmpm:
Same thing happens for me.
If I click a link without Firefox running,
sometimes it will say that.
And then be there when I open Firefox.
I think they are just trying to annoy us...lol.
I don't know though.

If Firefox is already running it doesn't happen.

This claims to fix it:
