Hyperlinks In Ms Outlook Doesn't Work


Recommended Posts

I use MS Outlook for email and FireFox for my browser. My problem is that clicking on any hyperlink in Outlook, doesn't seek out and open in FireFox. Instead, I get a "Locate Link Browser" window and I don't know what to do with it. The only way I can get the hyperlink to work is to Cut & Paste to my browser. If I set IE and OE as default browser and email, the hyperlinks work normally with IE & OE only, but I don't want to use IE and OE. The hyperlinks used to work regardless of which email program or browser was defaulted. Does anyone know what's going on?

Hi pueo38,

Check to make sure FireFox is set as your default browser. Open FireFox and goto Tools -> Options -> General -> Set Firefox As Default Browser. This is the only thing I can think of that would cause this problem.

I hope that helps.

EDIT: heh - Vile_DR beat me to the question. His resource looks pretty good.
