problem opening hyperlinks in Outlook emails

Using Outlook for email and havent made any changes recently. In the last couple of days when I click on a hyperlink in an email (eg to a new forum post) a dialogue box pops up trying to open as an exe file. when I cancel that box, Firefox opens the link properly.

Its really annoying as it happens every time, not just MSE forum but on myscrapbooking forums too.

I had a problem last week with the new firefox update, and wonder if this is connected in any way.

All suggestions gratefully received.

    Hm, think I might have solved this myself. Seem it couldnt find the browser, so I just pointed to Firefox exe in the address bar of the dialogue box and it seems to work ok now. Probably another issue from the recent firefox update
