(Firefox :: Shell Integration, defect)

Description

[rhurree]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1; Q312461; YPC 3.0.0; FunWebProducts-MyWay; SV1; (R1 1.1))
Build Identifier: 

Since upgrading to Firefox 1.0 this problem has occured and in Microsoft 
Newsgroup there are a lot of people with the same problem. If clicking on a 
link in an OUTLOOK HTML mail. you get the following. Message=dialog 
box saying "This operation has been canceled due to restrictions in effect on 
this computer. Please contact your system administrator", well.... I AM the 
system administrator and I have not  put any restrictions what so  
ever....!!!. I have reset all restriction to default. I have checked Mcafee.


Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.Removed firefox,deleted all reference to it.
2.Tried outlook again. same problems.must still be in registry. tried reset 
outlook options.the same message. It also disable IE.
3. did system restore prior to installing new firefox version.That worked, but 
when when you click on a link in outlook, it requests that you choose a web 
browser. then you choose IE as firefox causes outlook to malfuntion.

Actual Results:  
outlook ok after that. reinstalled firefox, problems returned. it also 
inteferes with virus updates. I accanot get McAfee to update at the moment. I 
have gone back to using IE. but i never had problems with the 0.9 or 1.0 rc 
release.

Expected Results:  
This a major problems as a you can read your email but you cannot access any 
link.

We should look into this for 1.1.

Asa, is this reproducable? Do we have Outlook licenses that this can be tested with?

Asa, can you get steps to cause this?  If not, we'll have to touch it later.
