Outlook general failure with URL links

Asked by wickedwizard in Firefox Web Browser, Outlook Groupware Software, Windows Vista

Tags: General failure. The URL was: "http:// www......" The system cannot find the file specified.

Whenever I am in Outlook, I sometimes encounter a URL link (always a valid link), that when clicked on, I get the error message :

General Failure.  The URL was " http://www. ....." The system cannot find the file specified.
OK button displays.
When OK is clicked, I am then taken to the correct web page.
I'm running Vista Ultimate, Outlook 2007 and Firefox.  I used to use IE, but recently switched over to Firefox and that's when the error began.  I receive the error, but the URL loads properly in Firefox from within Outlook, even though the error remains on the screen until I click OK.

Can anyone shed some light on this and offer a solution?
