When I open a link in Outlook, a "Locate Link Browser" box showing My Documents
folder looking for an executable file. It then opens the link, and then once
done the window stays opens until hitting the cancel tab.


Reproducible: Always

Reporter, Please update if you are able to still reproduce. If yes, please start Firefox in Safe Mode (http://support.mozilla.com/kb/Safe+Mode) to  check if an extension is the cause of the mentioned issue.
