Immediately after that, and since then, when I click on a hyperlink in Outlook 2003, it is looking for an EXE of some kind. When I change my default browser to Google Chrome, there is no problem. Have removed some add-on's and disabled others. I dunno, something is clearly wrong with this version of FF Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.see above 2. 3. Actual Results: see above Expected Results: Outlook hyperlink fires up Fire Fox, as it has all along, to the URL in question. See above.

What happens if you set another browser as default and use tools/options/advanced/general/check now ?

(In reply to comment #0) Hi, Thanks for working this problem. Did what you asked, no good. Downloaded the setup.exe file, ran it. I do NOT want to uninstall Fire Fox. The thing is still prompting for, "Locate Link Browser" See a lot of this in the Mozilla Knowledgebase, but not sure how to handle this. Please advise.

I did not told you to uninstall Firefox or download and install it again. Set for example chrome as default browser and use tools/options/advanced/general/check now in Firefox to set it again as default browser. Note: Bugzilla is a developer site and not an enduser support one (like http://support.mozilla.com is)

Right, I did just what you asked. I then downloaded the installer. I then stated that I did not want to uninstall Fire Fox (as a resolution option). Still have this looking for "Locate Link Browser". From what I have read, this is an OS thing, fixed in XP under File Types. Not sure how to fix it in Vista, or why this happened in the 1st place.

Hi, Completed the registry edits for Vista listed at: http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows/troubleshooting-prevent-locate-link-browser-popup-dialog-when-clicking-on-links-in-outlook/#comment-82295 No good. Any ideas? Thanks, SHD

Install all updates and service packs for vista and outlook, download and install Firefox 3.6.13, then test again.
